Life is better together.
At The Grove, we believe that life wasn’t meant to be done alone and that's what we believe our growth groups are all about. We believe that relationships develop and lives are changed as we gather together, connect with each other, and grow with one another.
We know that it can be challenging to get connected.
We also know that groups are not "one size fits all." That's why we have many opportunities for anyone. We have guys meeting for coffee before work or after work. We have ladies meeting weekly sharing life together. We have families meeting in homes in the middle of the week, eating food, and sharing their wins, weaknesses, and things they need to work on. There is something available for everyone.
What do our growth groups do?
Each group is unique and the activities are as diverse as the groups. Our groups simply meet, do life together, and discover how we can develop our lives, our relationships, our faith and be real, open, and honest.
What if none of these work for you?
If there's not a group that fits your schedule or meets your interest, we encourage you to create one. Just contact us and we'll help you! It's simple. We'll talk through what you can do and what resources are available for you to get you going!
Get in. Engage with others. Grow together.
