At The Grove Church, one of our core values is to cultivate faith. In advancing our effort to do that, The Grove Academy will launch January 2024!
The mission of The Grove Academy is to develop followers and train leaders with a biblical worldview and an accurate understanding of the Bible. When that happens, we will see engaged and equipped followers of Christ and leaders in ministry growing the church.
The Academy is a two year biblical training program covering Old and New Testament, Discipleship Development, Evangelism, Apologetics, Theology, and Biblical Interpretation. This will be a semester-based program with tuition and registration required.

What is the cost of the academy?
The cost of the academy is $250/semester and covers materials, supplies, and coursework.
What level of education do I need to attend the academy?
The academy is being designed from a simple academic but challenging approach.
The academy is for anyone, but not for everyone. There is no expectation to have any biblical or theological knowledge; but, there is also an expectation to commit, prepare, and be ready to learn, be challenged, and foster thinking to develop a biblical worldview and accurate interpretation of scripture.
No theological or educational background is required or expected.
What can I expect regarding commitment and workload?
The Academy is designed to be a 2 hour class, weekly, Tuesday nights, from 6-8 PM, at The Grove Church.
To be able to participate in conversations, there will be weekly content to study and understand, or have a basic knowledge of, prior to class which, depending on personal capacity, may take +/- 4-6 hours/week of pre-preparation.
Pre-class preparation
Upon registration, and before the start of each semester or course, you will receive a course syllabus giving an overarching understanding of the course outline and content that will be covered in the course as well as weekly pre-class preparation and reading assignments.
