Do you know the feeling of walking into your utility room to find of puddle of water? SURPRISE! In that moment you realize you might need to delay the purchase of new furniture in order to replace a necessary appliance.

You will notice The Grove faced surprises like these in 2024 which require a focus on needed maintenance. A year ago, we were raising money in hopes of installing automatic door-openers and fencing for the playground. Then SURPRISE! a wind storm caused thousands of dollars in damage to our trees, and SURPRISE! all four of our furnaces failed over the winter. While those other projects remain priorities, their completion has had to be delayed in favor of projects of even higher priority.

Our 2025 Property Improvement Campaign might not feel all that exciting, but funding this new project provides environmentally efficient systems which will serve our church and our community well into the future.

As a member or partner of The Grove, you show great care of our facilities which expand the ministry and outreach of The Grove. Our buildings, grounds, and equipment provide a safe and efficient space to gather together and create community partnerships. Our building is a tool for growing goodness, and your generosity makes it possible.

Every year we remind you, Property Improvement projects are beyond the capacity of our operating budget so are funded through this special ask. The top giving priority is always to the operating stewardship campaign where we grow goodness through everyday ministry. A gift to the Property Improvement Campaign is a contribution above and beyond a contribution to the general Operating Stewardship Campaign.

Prayerfully consider your support of this campaign. This is an all-church effort that requires all of us to do our part.

Your Partners in Ministry,
Pastor Jeremy and Pastor Kelly
