Our church is blessed to have a strong Christian Education ministry. We place a strong emphasis on the value of Christian Education. Each teacher in Christian Education spends time preparing the lesson by reviewing it before class and seeking wisdom from God in prayer. The lessons are structured such that new Christians and veteran Christians will get something out of the lesson.

Mission Statement

Our Christian Education (Discipleship Training) is a nurturing experience in which we all will grow and develop our spiritual walk with Jesus Christ. It is our intent to build positive character traits, spiritual strength, and healthy relationships. First things first, back to the basics!

Our Core Value by Pastor Dave

".. I believe that if I had to define one core value that was at the heart of our church it would be teaching. I believe we love because the Bible teaches us to love. I preach because the Bible commands me to teach. We are unified because the Bible teaches unity. We believe in tithing because the Bible teaches us to give. We endeavor to live holy because (you guessed it), the Bible teaches us to live holy.

I see teaching as the heart and soul of everything we do at the "Grove," from the songs the choir sings to the service our ushers/hospitality ministry renders for our visitors. It is more than something we do; it is who we are.

Sunday School -- Sunday School is in session every Sunday at 9:15 am. Our classes are divided by age groups, so there is something for the entire family. Each Sunday School class uses the same lesson, and the lesson is geared towards the age group.

Bible Study Institute -- Bible Study is held every Wednesday Nights at 7:00 pm. Before Bible Study, we have praise and worship at 6:30 pm to prepare our hearts for the Word. Our Bible Study classes are divided by age groups, and some age groups are divided by gender as well to fully minister to the particular student groups.
