Thinking of Visiting Grove Bible Church?
God created the church to be a welcoming place because Jesus first welcomed us into His family. As our relationship with Jesus becomes stronger, our relationship with others in His family becomes stronger too. God knows that we need each other for encouragement and exhortation. That's just one of the reasons that having a church family is so important in God's view.
