TGBC-171At Tulip Grove we seek to provide a balanced teaching diet of Bible, Doctrine, and Application so that we may grow up in Christ-like maturity and be equipped for Gospel-ministry in every sphere of life. Through our Spiritual Growth Institute we offer a range of classes in Bible, Doctrine, Spiritual Disciplines, and the Christian Life. In this way, we want to help every member grow in the truth, love, and joy of Christ.
