CARE MINISTRY
We all have defining moments in our lives–challenging circumstances, relational pain, and transitional seasons. Care Ministry is a resource for you, so please don’t hesitate to let us know of a concern, hospitalization, death or birth. The Grove Church family can come around you in your time of need, with a network of ministries, helpful resources and trained volunteers.
"Carry each other's burdens and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2).
