The Grove is a 7-year old church in the northern suburbs of Austin, Texas. From the beginning, our mission ahs been to reach those who are far from God and BE DISCIPLES WHO MAKE DISCIPLES. Of course, this mission didn't start with us, it was BECAUSE GOD sent His Son to rescue the world that we continue His mission. As we live out His mission, God in His faithfulness has transformed lives at The Grove. God has met our needs and exceeded our expectations. In light of what God has done, we are committed to firmly planting the gospel HERE in the greater Austin area, as well as THERE (to the ends of the earth). Our first phase of our building that is under construction will serve to reach our community as we put a stake in the ground for His mission HERE. At the same time we are committed to planting churches outside our community and sending missionaries to unreached people groups THERE.If His mission for HERE and THERE captures your heart, we urge you to consider joining us as we seek to exalt God, equip the church, and engage those far from God in the fight to rescue people from death to life by being disciple makers.
