who we strive to be
Rooted in the rhythms of rural small-town life, we strive to be a church that reflects the heart of Jesus in both word and action. We’re committed to growing in faith, serving our neighbors, and building a community where every generation can belong, believe, and become who God created them to be.
our mission
Seek. Equip. Send. At Grape Grove Church, our mission is to know, love, and serve God and His people. We’re a Christ-centered community where all generations are invited to grow in faith and serve together in meaningful ways.
Grape Grove is an independent, non-denominational church led by a local body of elders. While we’re not part of a larger denominational structure, we are rooted in the heritage of the Church of Christ/Christian Church movement and remain committed to biblical teaching, unity, and the priesthood of all believers.
