The Grove At Red Oak Lake
For twenty-seven students, May 18, 2015 was the beginning of a summer serving Jesus on the mission field in Cordova, Tennessee. As 9am approached, cars, full of people that have been covered in prayer by our leadership team, filled the parking lot. Our staff are the most elite group of people that you will meet. Go check out our "Who We Are" page to meet each of us.

We have all been called to share the Gospel and proclaim
our stories of how Christ has brought us back to Him and transformed our hearts
with with over fifteen thousand people who will drive through our gates
this summer.

We have the unique privilege to serve the world by blessing those that the Lord sends our way. We pray that God would send us the broken so that we can serve in such a way that ministries are restored and nations are reached right here from Cordova, Tennessee.
"And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding" Colossians 1:9
"And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding" Colossians 1:9
We believe in the power of prayer. Before you are on campus, our leadership meets to pray over you. While you are at camp, our staff walks the camp to pray over you. When you leave camp, our staff meets to pray that your time at camp equipped your ministry to return to your own mission field. You are covered in prayer.
Staff Training- May 18 and 19
Recreation is big part of our ministry as a summer staff. We love engaging the students in fun activities, but our main goal is for our campers to leave us knowing that they are loved by Jesus Christ - along the way we want them to experience the best kind of fun.

<<Team Grove>>
Team Grove goes beyond just the summer. You may wonder what we do during our off season. Our team travels during the winter to many churches to worship and come along side your ministry for a night of encouragement.
Here are a few moments captured of our staff when they received their "Team Grove" staff shirts.
After 36 hours of training, our staff is
ready to serve you. We can't wait for the days ahead where over 300 of
our beds are filled daily. Where kids are running around with blue lips
from the sno cones in the snack shack. Where towels are hanging to dry
on the clotheslines, and when we get to sit outside to talk about ways that you
impacted our lives, as a staff as we listen to you worship from across
the lake. We are so excited that you are choosing to step away from your life, and experience Christ in a powerful way with us.
See you this summer on the shore of Red Oak Lake! #tgarol
The Entire Grove Team
Please be in prayer for us as we seek to be witnesses of Jesus Christ to thousands of souls this summer. The days are long, and the sacrifices are great. We do what we do as a response to the hope that we have because of Jesus Christ. Join us in prayer for this summer and follow our blog to hear stories of transformation from our staff and guests. -The Grove Team
