A VARIED AND ACTIVE RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY

Eighteen denominations are represented within the City of Grove’s 29 churches. Local church leaders participate in the Ministerial Alliance and the Christian H.E.L.P. Center (Hope, Encouragement, Love, Provision), which are funded by donations and staffed by volunteers, providing assistance to residents of the community needing limited help with food, other domestic needs, and financial obligations.

With song and dance, each summer nearly 100 performers from the local church community come together to perform in the annual 4th of July celebration. The show highlights themes of God and country, ministering to both the patriotic and the spiritual faiths in the Grove area. In addition, children and adults come together for fellowship, fun and safe, family oriented activities at the annual Hallelujah party in the Grove Civic Center at the end of October. Appealing to children of all ages, summer church camp and vacation Bible school are offered by many churches.
