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.

    • Fresh Encounter by Henry Blackaby, Richard Blackaby and Claude King guides believers through the biblical pattern of experiencing God’s presence which leads to revival in the church and a spiritual awakening in the world. As churches today search for the right ministry to reach their community, this study will help them return to their “first love” of Jesus Christ so He can work powerfully in them and through them. Fresh Encounter is designed to aid churches and individual believers to return to a faithful relationship with God and become catalysts for revival. Limit of 10 participants for this study.
