It's very small and intimate. Worship is awesome. The children's ministry is great and the messages have been on point every time. Definitely a church that is filled with love

Well, let's just say it's a different kind of Church. The environment is warm, inviting, and where…read moreall are welcome regardless of their baggage. Whether you are a bible scholar or not even a Christian you will all feel welcome at the Grove as there is no feeling of exclusivity or feeling like organized religion full of man-made rules or rituals. There are no judgmental bible thumping Pharisee hypocrites pointing their finger at you or making you feel bad for your past or present issues. Relaxed friendly environment, come as you are, without leaving your personality at the door just as Jesus expected. I doubt you will see a suit let alone a tie and if your visiting probably wouldn't even know which person was the pastor until he walked up to give the sermon. We are all sinners in the eyes of the Lord, none greater than the other. They have great worship music for all ages played by a live band, and definitely no boring sermons, and unafraid to speak the truths in scripture from the pulpit. Sometimes there are props to make points so you don't know if one Sunday there will be a boat on the stage or the pastor crushing a can of cola during the sermon. The Grove is obviously focused and committed to reaching people and bringing them to Jesus rather than attendance and money. Lots of programs and activities to fellowship and learn more about scripture to improve your relationship with God. I've seen no evidence of clicks or "higher than mighty" attitudes rather everyone seems like family to each other and you will too after spending a few minutes at the 9:30 am coffee connections before church. I have been to a lot of churches but this is the only one that feels like family reunion every Sunday even with people you haven't even met before. Truly a church where even the non-churched can also feel comfortable attending. Coffee connections at 9:30 am, and service promptly starts at 10:00 am, and is usually over by 11:15 or 11:30.

Very welcoming, from our first visit and each time following. Great place for stress free serviceread more

The thrift shop has a wide variety of interesting things at great prices - I've bought an espresso maker, a suit, and other nice things. I've also had good experiences donating things I no longer need. They give tax deduction receipts on request, and they take lots of stuff - such as furniture - that other Oakhurst stores won't handle. If you're going to donate, make sure it's something that you would buy if you needed it again. No mattresses, sofas, broken items, or other junk. Note: Thrift store and donations are closed Mondays. Make an appointment if you're dropping off a lot, or anything big.

We have found that It is evident this body and pastor love the Lord. They are willing, and unashamed, to teach the Bible, including all that is controversial inside the word. They offer midweek Bible studies for both men and women and a youth program. Nursery and Sunday school is provided on Sundays.
