We are a member of the Acts 29 church planting network.
Acts 29 is a diverse, global family of church-planting churches.
As a family of church-planting churches we are about one thing: church planting. We exist to encourage, resource, facilitate, support and equip churches to plant churches that will plant church-planting churches!
Why are we so single-minded? Because we believe that the church is God’s primary mission strategy, and so the means by which Jesus is made more famous as communities of light are scattered throughout the world to dispel the darkness.
What gives Acts 29 its distinctive texture is our robust commitment to theological clarity, cultural engagement and missional innovation. If you are an existing church or an individual that shares this vision for church planting, and think we might be able to help you, we would love to connect and see how we can partner together for the fame of the Savior.
Our Mission
At The Grove Church, our mission is to be a family of disciple-making disciples for the glory of God and the good of all people.
What We Believe
At The Grove Church, we exist to glorify God by making disciples of Jesus Christ who know Him deeply, love Him fully, and follow Him faithfully. This Doctrinal Statement serves as a foundational guide for our identity, mission, and practice, defining our confession of the Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—His sovereign rule over creation and providence, the authority of Scripture as His inspired Word, the desperate need of humanity due to sin, and the redemptive work of Jesus Christ by grace alone through faith alone. This statement also seeks to unite The Grove Church in a shared understanding of the Gospel and in worship, and to ground us in hope so that we may live for the glory of God and faithfully carry out the mission of making disciples—so that all people might come to know and enjoy the greatness of God through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Doctrine of God
We believe in one God eternally existing as one essence and three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, each of whom is fully God, yet there is one God.
Doctrine of Revelation
God has made Himself known to the world in Jesus Christ, the Scriptures, and Creation.
Doctrine of Creation and Providence
We believe that the Triune God created the universe and everything in it for His glory, that He continues to govern all things at all times in all places, and that mankind, therefore, owes Him our worship and obedience.
Doctrine of Humanity
We believe that all humanity is created in the image of God and possesses intrinsic dignity and worth.
Doctrine of Sin and The Fall
We believe that sin has corrupted all things, leaving the world in desperate need of salvation.
Doctrine of Salvation
We believe the good news of the Gospel that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
Doctrine of the Church
We believe that the Church is the body of Christ sent into the world to shine forth the glory of God.
Ordinances of the Church
We believe there are two ordinances of the Church--baptism and communion.
The Power and Gifts of the Holy Spirit
We believe that our sovereign God continues to make the gifts of the Holy Spirit displayed in the New Testament available and active within the Church. God purposes these gifts as He sees fit for authenticating the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and building His Church. At the same time, these gifts served a unique purpose within the life and mission of the Church and should not be considered as normative.
The Kingdom of God and the Restoration of all Things
We believe that Jesus Christ’s invisible earthly Kingdom began in the hearts of Believers with His Resurrection and that He is returning to the world in the future to judge the living and the dead and to establish His visible reign.
