Greetings,

As the pastor of The Grove, I want to extend a warm welcome to each of you!

As you visit with us, I trust you will notice a number of things that make us somewhat unique as a "microcosm" of the body of Christ here in Wilmington.

First, as a people, we are coming to understanding who we are and all that God has done for us through the person of Jesus Christ.  Walking in this revelation changes our perspective and our role in history.  Through the redemption of Christ, God has chosen to literally share his life with us and has chosen to live his life in each of us.  Therefore,we are blessed to actually "Steward His Presence" in our individual lives and in our gatherings.

Finally, we believe that we are living in and will see accelerate the greatest revival the world has ever seen.  We are intentionally positioning ourselves to participate in this world wide outpouring by taking our place among those called to bring the "Kingdom to earth as it is in heaven."

As those who have "freely received God's love, we are those who will freely give it away!"  God remains committed to His church; we are blessed to be a part of it!

Come join with us and take your place in the movement of advancing God's revival culture through His chosen people, the Church.

I am yours in Christ,

Steven J. Mattis
Senior Pastor
