Covenant Grove Church is a brand new church in Modesto!
We are
committed to drawing people to grow in honest relationships with God and
each other. Whether you are just starting out, or ready to grow in
your faith, our church is a safe place where you can be who you are and
grow in God's love.
Last Sunday we really went deep into Galatians 2 - talking about the problem in
Galatia (2000 years old), and how we still struggle with legalism today. I
am so proud of our church - we are letting a book of the Bible guide our
thoughts and make us deeper people. AND we are letting God's Word shape
the character of our church - a place where different cultures can come
together, one in Christ, and where we can build each other up in love - not
judging others or ourselves legalistically, but encouraging and challenging to
grow an authentic love for God in everything we do. All I can say is -
WOW!
Not only will we be going through the entire book on
Sunday morning, but we also challenge you to go through the Devotional Card -
which will take you through the book four times. That is how we really
grow in God's Word - we don't just breeze by, but we really know the words and
let them shape us. Download the
card from our Devotions Page,
and leave some of your
thoughts on our
Facebook Page, too!
You know, it almost seems like kinda "church old-school" to have Potlucks once a
month, but this is just something that I love about our church. We can do
things from a generation ago, or do things no one else is doing - as long as we
are doing it all for Jesus. And let's face it, we are a church that just
loves eating together!
Last names A-J - bring drinks to share
Last names K-R - bring a main dish to share
Last names S-Z - bring a side dish or dessert to share
The time together was incredible! We played together, had fun, sang loud
songs, and shared God's love with these very special children of God. I am
so excited that our new church - not even 1 year old - took this on and
accomplished this, all for the love of our God. He is so good! Thank you
for your prayers!
You can check out all our videos, including our Sunday morning Scripture videos,

Life Groups are Amazing!!
Our Life Groups are not only great places to connect, have fun, eat food, grow
in Bible study, and be deeply prayed for, but they are also places for
incredible events. One of our Life Groups is planning a Park Day, another
has service projects ready to go, another one is all about Movie Nights, and
another is making crafts for our Special Needs VBS. Life Groups are a big
part of the life of our church - because we believe God has called us to follow
Him in community. So jump into a Life Group!
