Volunteer for service projects and missions organized by The Grove or partner organizations. We exist to love God, love people, and make disciples of Jesus Christ. Out of this mission, joyful service is the overflow of discipleship, serving those in and outside the church.

Believers can also serve others by showing compassion and kindness in everyday interactions, seeking ways to meet the needs of those around you.

We want to glorify God with every area of our lives, and that includes what we do with our finances. Consider setting up a regular Financial Gift to support the church's work locally and globally.
