Here is another illustration Jesus used: "The
Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed planted in a field. It is the smallest
of all seeds, but it becomes the largest of garden plants; it grows into a tree,
and birds come and make nests in its branches." Matt 13:31-32

Bible-centered and relevant preaching.
You won’t fall asleep during these sermons! We want to invite
people to a true relationship with Jesus Christ, and to challenge them to grow
deeper and share that relationship with others. You’ll think, laugh, and be
inspired to live what you learn.
Passionate, exciting and honest worship.
Our church wants to have fun and truly worship Jesus with our
worship experiences – and to make all of life an act of worship. We will worship
God through music, creative arts, and even media. Our worship is a place for
broken people to find hope in Christ.
Excellent ministry for Children and Students.
We care about the next generation! Our children and students
will learn the Bible, be called to live a personal faith, and have a lot of fun!
Yes our church is fun! No more parents dragging kids to church – the kids might
just be dragging the parents!
Supportive and encouraging Groups.
Our church loves people! Our Life Groups are places where you
can grow and serve in connection with others, where you can be yourself, care
for others, goof around, and go deep. And we eat together a lot, too!
Opportunities to use your God-given gifts to
make a difference.
You are gifted! God is calling us to serve in the church and
in the world – crossing our comfort zones, impacting lives, sharing the good
news of Jesus and working for God’s Kingdom and justice.
Covenant Grove Church is called through the power of God
to transform religious and irreligious people
into Fully Devoted Followers of
Christ.
Our church will seek to live out that calling through:
DISCIPLESHIP
MARK 12.29-30; DEUT 6.4-5; MATT 7:17-27; JOHN 15:1-17
Accepting God’s amazing love and responding humbly
with a life of genuine, obedient, devoted love.
FELLOWSHIP
LUKE 10.27; LEV 19.18; JOHN 13.34-35; ACTS 2.42-47; GAL

Connecting and serving with the Family of Christ –
supporting, encouraging, forgiving, challenging and deeply loving each other.
MISSION

Following Christ’s example to love and serve a lost and
hurting world –
