Grove Outreach Treks...

We believe that there is no better way to spend your vacation time than to join a Grove team heading out into the world to love, learn, and serve. You are invited to visit our global partners and see their ministry up close and personal as you offer your own heart and hands to further their work among the lost. And though you will be a great blessing to those you meet, you will probably receive even greater blessing yourself.

Our prayer is that GroveTrek members will be changed by God as they reach all people, and return to us with a greater passion for Christ’s Kingdom.
