The Grove Church

This Sunday we started a brand new series, What If? A God-Given Vision for The Grove Church, with a message titled What If Jesus Is at the Center? What would it look like if Jesus wasn’t just a part of our lives, but truly the center of everything, our church, our families, and our purpose? When He’s at the center, everything flows from Him. And when He’s not, everything falls apart. Join us next...

We closed our series Can I Be Honest? Three Real Reasons People Walk Away From Church by addressing one of the most painful and often dismissed reasons: church hurt. Church hurt is real and uniquely painful, but staying hurt isn’t helpful. Healing begins when we receive and extend forgiveness through Jesus, the only one who can truly make us whole. Join us next Sunday at The Grove as we begin a br...

This Sunday we continued our series, Can I Be Honest? Three Real Reasons People Walk Away From Church, by looking at the claim that the church is irrelevant. Many believe the church has lost touch with real life, but when it is centered on Jesus, it becomes the source of real life. Join us next Sunday as we continue this series at The Grove Church.

Today marks the very first service of The Grove Church and we couldn’t be more grateful for all God has done to bring us here. Pastor Kale kicked off our new series “Can I Be Honest?” with a powerful message about the #1 reason people walk away from the church: hypocrisy. It was a reminder that Jesus calls His church to be holy, honest, and full of both grace and truth. We’re just getting started!...

Today, Pastor Kale shared a standalone message called “Forget the Former Things,” reminding us to stop dwelling on the past and trust that God is doing something new. As we close one chapter and prepare to launch The Grove Church, this message from Isaiah 43:18–19 challenges us to release old rhythms and regrets so we don’t miss what God is doing right now. God’s not just making us better, He’s ma...

Today we had the privilege of hearing from guest speaker Brett Johnson as we continued our journey through Hebrews. He reminded us that Jesus is Better, better than any earthly priest and better than our own striving. In Hebrews 4, we see Jesus as our Great High Priest who understands our weakness yet was without sin. Because of Him, we can approach God’s throne with confidence, receiving mercy an...

We’re continuing our journey through the book of Hebrews in week 3 of our series, Jesus Is Better. In the middle of the chaos and restlessness in our world, Hebrews reminds us of a deeper truth: real peace isn’t found in circumstances, vacations, or achievements, it’s found only in Jesus. When we trust Him, restlessness is replaced with soul-level rest that produces peace. Join us again next week...

This Sunday we continued our journey through the book of Hebrews in our series titled, Jesus Is Better. In Hebrews 2, we’re given commands and warnings that call us to wake up, pay attention, and not drift away from the truth of the Gospel. What voices are you listening to? What keeps you from paying attention to Jesus? Today’s message is a reminder of the urgency of faith and the hope we have bec...

This morning we launched a brand-new series titled Jesus is Better. We will be walking through the book of Hebrews, a unique and powerful book in the New Testament. Hebrews opens not like a letter, but like a sermon. And right from the start, the author makes one bold claim: Jesus is better. Better than the prophets, better than priests, better than religion, and in this first chapter, better than...

This Sunday we continued our series The Discipleship Game Plan, looking at at the opponent of discipleship. Scripture makes it clear: Satan is real, and his goal is to steal, kill, and destroy. His primary battlefield is our minds. Filling us with lies, doubt, shame, and discouragement. But God has given us His truth to fight back, reminding us that we are loved, cared for, and part of His good pl...

Week 3 of The Discipleship Game Plan! This week we dug into the strategy of discipleship. Jesus didn’t just give us a mission, He gave us a strategy to accomplish it that should be intentional, relational, and reproducible. Discipleship doesn’t happen by accident; it happens when we invest in people, walk with them through the mess of life, and multiply disciples who make disciples. Tune in next w...

This Sunday we continued our series The Discipleship Game Plan! In week two, Pastor Kale walked us through how disciples train. With direction, discipline, and diligence. Just like athletes prepare with intentional practice, followers of Jesus grow by knowing their goal, committing to spiritual training (especially daily engagement with Scripture), and persevering over time for the sake of inspiri...

This Sunday we started our new series The Discipleship Game Plan! In week one, Pastor Kale laid the foundation by exploring what it truly means to be a disciple. That it includes denying ourselves, depending on the truth of Jesus, and recognizing that even faithful disciples can carry doubts. Tune in next week as we continue to dive into the disciple game plan!

This Sunday, Pastor Kale wrapped up our Experiencing God series with a message on worship. Worship isn’t just music, it’s a daily, living sacrifice in response to God’s mercy. “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.” Romans 12:1

This Sunday a member of our congregation, Matt Brown, continued our Experiencing God series and shared a powerful message of brokenness and redemption. His story invites us to see God’s grace at work, even when we think it’s too late. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. - Psalm 34:8

We’re kicking off a new series called Experiencing God, because knowing about God isn’t the same as truly encountering Him. Whether you’ve had mountaintop moments or feel like you’re still waiting, this message invites you to get honest, take a step of obedience, and expect God to meet you there.

Our testimony is one of the most powerful ways we can share our faith. It’s our response when someone asks about the reason for the hope we have. These stories not only point others to Jesus, but they also remind us of how God is at work all around us and within us. Today, we hear from three members of our community—Teresa, Lizzy, and Max—as they share how God has moved in their lives and how He c...

This Sunday, we wrapped up our series TRUE or FALSE? Fact-Checking Controversial Christian Claims. Each week, we’ve taken a closer look at a challenging statement through the lens of Scripture.

This Sunday, Pastor Kale and Pastor Eric discuss the future of The Story Timbergrove. We’re full of anticipation for where God is leading us. This message isn’t just about what’s ahead, it’s a celebration of God’s goodness and faithfulness every step of the way.

In this special Mother’s Day message, continuing our WORTH the WAIT series, we explore how a mother’s love offers a powerful reflection of God’s character. Through Scriptures like Isaiah 66:13 and Psalm 46:1, we see how a mother’s comforting presence, selfless priorities, and fierce protection mirror the way God loves, nurtures, and defends His children.

This Sunday, Pastor Kale continues our Worth the Wait series with a message exploring God’s plans for the future of this fallen world, as revealed through the Old Testament prophet Isaiah.
