Who we are
We're a contemporary Christian church that launched in September of 2009. We create environments for people of different backgrounds to feel welcome as they explore what Jesus and Christianity is all about. Our worship music incorporates a variety of instruments such as acoustic guitar, electric guitars, keyboard, bass guitar, and drums to create a flavorful atmosphere for singing praises to Jesus Christ. Each week, our service centers around a Biblical passage of Scripture teaching us how to live our lives for our Savior. We're not a perfect church, but we worship the perfect and holy One, Jesus Christ who loves you and His church. We welcome you to join us this Sunday where you will find hot coffee, safe children's activities, and a message that you just might continue to think about the rest of the week.

Dress code:
We are a casual and contemporary church. We just ask that you wear clothes. Our congregation wears whatever they feel most comfortable wearing. For most people, that involves jeans and varying types of shirts, while a few might occasionally wear clothes that appear business casual. We simply want you to feel comfortable because Jesus is concerned with our hearts rather than our outward appearance.

The Grove Church History
We began as a church in late 2009 under the pastorate of Dr. Greg Johnston. When Dr. Johnston felt led to start a new church for Hattiesburg and the surrounding area, the Lord guided him with a passion to reach the younger generations. That guidance led him to equip a younger staff (most of which remain on staff today) ready to serve the Lord. As the passion for reaching the younger generations grew, the Lord opened the door for the church to be able to meet in the movie theater inside Turtle Creek Mall for the first five years of its existence. Within those first five years, The Grove Church developed a casual and contemporary atmosphere that did not shy away from proclaiming and preaching the Gospel, yet did so through biblical, contemporary, and applicable messages each week.
In 2014, the church began the process of relocating to its current location on Lincoln Road Ext. At that time, Dr. Johnston felt led to transition from the role of Lead Pastor to Senior Pastor, and place Pastor Britt in the role of Lead Pastor. While Pastor Britt now preaches the biblical, contemporary, and applicable sermons each week, Dr. Johnston now serves as a mentor, elder, and visionary for the staff and congregation of The Grove Church. While we are a young church in comparison to many churches today, we are still a church that seeks to connect people to God, to others, and to service.
