OUR MINISTRIES
At The Grove Church, our ministries are dedicated to fostering a vibrant sense of community where every individual is valued and supported on their faith journey. We believe in living out our faith beyond Sunday morning, actively engaging in meaningful relationships that transcends the church walls. Together, we strive to embody the love of Christ in our daily lives, making a lasting difference in the world around us.
Learn more about our ministries below.
Grove Kids
Grove Kids meet every Sunday during our 9:00 or 10:30 AM services, with classes for ages birth-5th grade. Our desire for our kids’ ministry is to lay a biblical foundation, to not only understand and believe the truth of God’s Word, but to apply this truth to their daily lives.
After checking in your child before service we have Nursery thru Pre-K available the entire worship service.
Our kids from Kindergarten - 5th grade join you for worship before dismissing to their kids' area. Kids participate in a large group lesson and then enjoy age-specific small groups, scripture memorization and games.
In addition to Sunday mornings, we have Kids Camp in the summer and family events throughout the year. We look forward to meeting you and your family!
If you have any questions or would like to serve in our kids ministry, email kids@thegrovechurchaledo.com.
Students at the Grove
SATG (Students at The Grove) is a place for 6th-12th grade students to gather, grow and go. Middle School meets on Wednesday nights from 5:15- 7:00 for a time of fun, teaching, and small groups guided by safe adults. High School meets on Wednesdays from 7:15-9:00 for Bible Study!
Through Wednesday night gatherings and fun events throughout the year, students can find a place that they call home. This community seeks to love one another in the unique places that God has placed us and grow deeper with confidence in who God says we are.

Small Groups at The Grove
Purpose:
John 15:12 – This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
Small groups at The Grove exist to actively live out our faith through community and discipleship.
Aim:
Acts 2:42 – And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
Relationship | Word | Prayer
Hebrews 10:23-25 – Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

SEARCH MINISTRIES
Ryan Aldridge
Search ministries is an organization that builds relationships with adults, creating a space for them to take the next step towards God.
My heart for this town is for every adult to get a chance to hear the Gospel.
The gift of the Grove supports me in hosting events called Forums where we gather men and women to openly discuss big questions about their faith.
MISSION PARTNERS
MISSIONARIES IN JAPAN
The Ernst Family
Richard and Cori Ernst, along with their three children, and one on the way, have answered a powerful calling. In a nation where less than 2% of the population knows the name of Jesus, the Ernst family has stepped out in bold faith to share the hope and Gospel in Japan.
The Ernst Family have moved their family across the world to plant seeds of truth, build relationships, and make disciples- just as Jesus commanded in the Great Commission: "Go and make disciples of all nations..." (Matthew 28:19)
Our Role as their Sending Church, we are honored to stand behind them in prayer, encouragement and support. While the Ernst family goes, we send. While they speak, we intercede. While they plant, we water through faithful prayer and support.
Let's join together as a church family to life of The Ernsts as they carry the light of Christ to Japan.
