YUGO MIssion Trip

This summer we will be going to Ensenada Mexico through YUGO ministries to build a house for the Rojas family. This family has dedicated their lives to serving YUGO, and we are excited to partner alongside them in their missions work. If you’d like more info on how to support, contact glenda.atkins@gmail.com

 

Missions

The Grove sends 10% of our general giving to missions that we partner with. Our Missions Team regularly communicates with and prays for each of the ministries that we support. For more information on our team or the selection process, please contact the missions team leader.


Our missions team also plans the Monthly Missions Meal, which is served once a month after service and is free to all, but donations are given to the highlighted ministry of the month.

  • Christ In Youth is an organization that trains and equips students to be Kingdom Workers. They do this through events all over the world—from Middle and High School conferences, to domestic and international missions trips. CIY meets students where they are and helps them live boldly for Christ. Our student ministry works closely with CIY, and we have seen many lives impacted through their programs.

  • Love INC mobilizes local Churches to meet the needs of people by partnering with volunteers to help bridge the gap between helping hands and people in need. Through their ministry, they seek to transform lives through the love of Christ. The Grove works with Love INC to help people who come to us in need of assistance. Love INC is also a great resource for finding ways to serve people in our community.

  • Waypoint helps churches understand where they are and where they’re headed in their journey to accomplish their God-given mission. Waypoint primarily focuses in Virginia and North Carolina. They plant brand new churches and also provide special training and seminars for existing churches.
