RESIDENCY

The Grove’s purpose statement is “Being Changed by God to Reach All People.”

Our heart as a local church is to be obedient to the Great Commission that Jesus gave His disciples in Matthew 28:18-20.

We believe the Great Commission will be accomplished by the power of God through the local church. Ephesians 4:11-12 says, “And He gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.”

Scripture makes it clear God’s work is not accomplished through one evangelist, or one pastor, or one local church, but through a variety of workers the Lord has gifted to equip His saints for the work of ministry in building up His body.

The goal of The Grove’s Residency is to help develop and sharpen the giftings God has already given His workers as we help prepare them for the work God is calling them to do in building His church.

This residency is for leaders who want to either church plant, help re-start a struggling church, or be sent out as a Global Partner to bring the Gospel to all nations.
