OUR MINISTRIES
At The Grove Church, our ministries are dedicated to fostering a vibrant sense of community where every individual is valued and supported on their faith journey. We believe in living out our faith beyond Sunday morning, actively engaging in meaningful relationships that transcends the church walls. Together, we strive to embody the love of Christ in our daily lives, making a lasting difference in the world around us.

Grove Kids
Grove Kids meet every Sunday during our 10:00am service, with classes for ages birth-5th grade. Our desire for our kids’ ministry is to lay a biblical foundation, to not only understand and believe the truth of God’s Word, but to apply this truth to their daily lives.
​
After checking in your child, ages 3 (potty-trained) - 5th grade join you for worship before dismissing to the kids' area. Kids participate in a large group lesson and then enjoy age-specific small groups, scripture memorization and games. Nursery is available the entire worship service.
In addition to Sunday mornings, we have Kids Camp in the summer and family events throughout the year. We look forward to meeting you and your family!
​
If you have any questions or would like to serve in our kids ministry, email kids@thegrovechurchaledo.com.

Students at the Grove
SATG (Students at The Grove) is a place for 6th-12th grade students to gather, grow and go. Middle School meets on Wednesday nights from 4:15- 6:00 for a time of fun, teaching, and small groups guided by safe adults. High School meets on Wednesdays from 7:00-8:15 for Bible Study!
Through Wednesday night gatherings and fun events throughout the year, students can find a place that they call home. This community seeks to love one another in the unique places that God has placed us and grow deeper with confidence in who God says we are.
Men's Ministry
Men at The Grove meet throughout the year for Bible study, community, and to eat good food.
Women's Ministry
Women at The Grove exist to deepen our relationship with Jesus and grow in relationships with one another.
We have Bible studies, gatherings for moms with littles, women’s get-away weekends, and our annual women’s Christmas event, "Illuminate."
​
Illuminate, our annual women’s Christmas event will take place in early December here at The Grove. We'd love for you to join us this year!
Small Groups at The Grove
Purpose:
John 15:12 – This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
Small groups at The Grove exist to actively live out our faith through community and discipleship.
Aims:
Acts 2:42 – And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
Fellowship | Process | Growth | Practice
Goals:
Hebrews 10:23-25 – Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

SEARCH MINISTRIES

Ryan Aldridge
​
Search ministries is an organization that builds relationships with adults, creating a space for them to take the next step towards God.
​
My heart for this town is for every adult to get a chance to hear the Gospel.
The gift of the Grove supports me in hosting events called Forums where we gather men and women to openly discuss big questions about their faith.
