Kids at The Grove

We believe that every child is created, loved, and valued by God.

The Grove Covenant Church Kids

We believe that every child is created, loved and valued by God. Our hope is that each child who comes through our doors would experience God’s love through the care of our leaders and staff.

Children who would like to attend our nursery, preschool, and kindergarten classes can check in at the window in the main lobby. These classes begin at the start of worship.


Our 1st through 5th grade students will begin in worship with their families, and then be invited to participate in a class in the Life Center about 30 minutes after the worship service has started. We will bring these students to the Life Center together as a group, and the group returns to our worship space at the end of the service.
