Our Ministries
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost..." Matthew 28:19
At Central Grove Baptist Church you have opportunities weekly/monthly to participate in worship, service to others, children and youth activities, Bible Study, outreach ministries, and more as we strive to share God's love to a broken world and seek those who are lost. We have something for everyone. We want to be a Voice of HOPE here at Central Grove.
Children & Youth
Wednesday Night Live
The children and youth of Central Grove meet each Wednesday at 6:30-7:30 for Wednesday Night Live. We journey through the bible and discover the stories of Jesus, His love, and how we can become more like Him. We have food, fun, bible lessons, music, and more every Wednesday night.
Children and youth also have designated Sunday School classes for all ages each Sunday. Activities are scheduled throughout the year for the children and youth to participate in outreach ministries of our church.
Wednesday Night Live leaders:
Wendy McWhorter, Lindsey Stonecipher, Jeff Brown.

Vacation Bible School
VBS at Central Grove is one of our biggest outreaches. It is one week that the entire church is mobilized to reach children, youth, and the community with the gospel of Jesus. We create an unforgettable VBS experience and each year it grows with new church prospects, relationships formed, and souls saved.

Women's Ministry
WMU -Women's Missionary Union- works alongside the church in fulfilling the Great Commision. They are actively involved in the mission of people. The WMU at Central Grove offers opportunities to engage in mission activity throughout the community, state, and world. The WMU meet on the second Monday of each month at the church at 6:00 p.m. They have a meal followed with a mission centered meeting/study. The WMU integrally participate in activities throughout the year to bring aid to the shut-ins of our community, coordinate Operation Christmas Child activities for our church, and serves diligently to further missions and the kingdom.

Men's Ministry
The Men's Ministry coordinates a series of bible studies a few times a year. The studies range from four-six weeks each. These bible studies are open to all men of the community. The meeting place of each series is held at a central location to make it more accessible to the attendees. Location is announced prior to each study.

Seniors Ministry
Central Grove has a heart for the 'seniors' of our congregation. The Seniors travel a few times a year to neighboring places of interest to enjoy a day of fellowship, food, and site-seeing together. Central Grove recognizes the integral part our 'seniors' play in the advancement of our church.

VAN Ministry
Central Grove started its Van Ministry with just one van to transport people to our church services. We have expanded the ministry to two vans operating every Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night, and for other church related events. This ministry has proven to be a major factor for the growth of our church.
