ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

Groves Ministry is great ministry with two churches – Union  Grove UMC 

    and Willow Grove UMC – located in Pittsgrove, NJ. 

Groves Ministry has been ministering in this area for over 200 years 

    with deep roots and thriving. 

We have a deep and abiding commitment to sharing the Gospel and to promoting 

    positive social change through our missions in Pittsgrove area. We are always 

    looking forward providing transformational opportunities for worship, 

    offering powerful programs in Christian education and spiritual formation, 

    and participating in catalytic practices of social justice within the measurable future, 

    and we believe our ministry to be.

WHY WE EXIST

We WELCOME all to come and EXPERIENCE the beauty of Christ:

    preparing our hearts to GO and MAKE disciples for Him to all the world.

WHAT WILL WE ACHIEVE

| EXPERIENCING JESUS 

| DEVELOPING DISCIPLES 

| ABIDING IN RELATIONSHIP OF LOVE 

| SERVING OTHERS

Each ministry and responsibility we participate in is an opportunity for each of us 

    to ask if we have experienced Jesus, developed disciples, served others, 

    and abode in relationship of love in our daily lives. At the same time, 

on the communal level, these four visions describe what it means for a wider ministry, 

    and the parish as a whole, to be fully alive in our faith. Here, the activities bring us 

    face to face with what it means to participate collectively in a way 

    that is powerful and life-changing.
