“Approval through Christ sets you Free.”

Fallen Condition

We walk into every room as slaves to the opinions of others. Their praise goes to our head and their disapproval goes to our heart, and we wear ourselves out performing for a verdict we can never finally win. Even our religion can become one more performance that nullifies the grace of God.

Solution in Christ

By faith we have been crucified with Christ, and Christ now lives in us, justified once and for all. The Son of God loved us and gave Himself for us, and our names are graven on His scarred hands. His verdict settles every other verdict in the room.

Vision for The Grove

The Grove to become a community whose freedom runs so deep that no room can shake it. People who walk in already most loved by the Father, no longer ruled by the lust for approval or the fear of disapproval, free to love every person they meet because they have nothing left to prove.
