In everyday life, we face a choice: to cling to God and choose to worship Him, even when it hurts, or be overwhelmed by the troubles and hurtful circumstances and start magnifying them. We can choose to be overwhelmed by the love and beauty of God himself. At Long Grove Community Church we want to be the kind of worshipper who will absolutely refuse to be discouraged or distracted by the circumstances or the problems around us in our quest to glorify God. We all have a call on our lives, which is to know God. 1 Corinthians 1:9 (NKJV) says, “God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” We don’t know where you are today in your relationship with God, but we’d like to tell you that there are deeper and more intimate levels. You can never know God well enough, but you can raise your hunger for Him, His Word, and the Living Word, Jesus. 

Contemporary worship

 Our 9:00 a.m. service is held in our Community House and is an informal, relational, expressive service with audio-visuals, dramas, and contemporary music. You’ll worship God with our piano, keyboard, electric guitars, percussion instruments, violins, etc. You’ll be led in song by our praise team. People are free to clap and raise their hands in praise. The spoken word is the same as the traditional service. You'll enjoy fellowship after the service.  Childcare and teen programs available.

Traditional worship

Our 10:45 a.m. service is held in our 160 year old sanctuary and is a place for meditation, contemplation and prayerful rest. You'll enjoy worship of the Lord without all the technical "noise" of the 21st century. Hymns are sung with our 150 year old pipe organ. The spoken word is the same as the contemporary service. You'll experience a softer presence of God in His sanctuary. Our fellowship time starts before service in the community house around 10:15. Childcare available.
