Visit The Grove
We’re being changed by God to reach all people — and you’re invited! Join us for one of our four weekend services.
At The Grove, we desire to be a place where you can start or continue your journey with God and connect in community with others. We want to help make your visit as easy and enjoyable as possible. Our weekend services are the primary way we gather as a church family. It is also a great first step to connecting with life at The Grove.

Come a few minutes early to grab a free coffee in the breezeways, check in your kids, and get settled before the service begins.
For Children
We love our families! From infants through 4th grade, our Early Childhood and Elementary Ministries are ready to welcome and care for your children during each service.
On your first visit, our team will greet you, walk you through check-in, and personally help you find the right classroom for your child. You can fill out this form ahead of time to make your arrival even smoother.
We’ve created a safe and secure check-in process, so you can enjoy the service with confidence, knowing your child is well cared for. Please plan to arrive a few minutes early on your first visit, so we can serve you well.
For Youth
Our youth ministries provide students with a worship and teaching experience tailored to their age group. They follow the same series as our main worship services.
Preteen (Grades 5-6)
Our Preteen Ministry, the Bridge, meets at all four weekend services in the Gym.
Junior High (Grades 7-8)
Our Junior High Ministry, the Refuge, meets at all four weekend services in Room C-200.
High School (Grades 9-12)
Our High School Ministry, the Overflow, meets on Saturday at 4 PM in the Chapel.
We can’t wait to meet you and your family!
Safety is a number one priority when your child is in our care so that you can enjoy the service without worry. Each of our loving volunteers goes through background screening, reference checks, and training to make sure each person who interacts with our children is able to do so! We only check out children with matching unique stickers given to you during check-in.

Guests with a registered service dog must complete and submit The Grove's Service Dog Registration form 72 hours in advance of attending a service. Our service dog policy can be viewed here.
Guests with a service dog must retain control of their animal at all times and keep their service animal on a leash or harness while visiting.
