Scattered across the north Greene County countryside, these small congregations gather along farm roads and crossroads near fields and homesteads.

Fair Grove Family Churches

These congregations prioritize kids and teens with nurseries, midweek programs, and summer VBS, often coordinating around the Fair Grove school calendar.

Many also plug into the Heritage Reunion, using the festival weekend to welcome neighbors and new families.

#InChristForever
“And like, I kind of understood that. Like, this is a worshipful text. For the Christian, this is comfort food. It makes you feel safe and secure. I need you to know, you're not saved this morning by the strength of your faith. If you were, you'd be in trouble. You are saved by the object of your faith. God keeps us no matter how weak our faith might be. We are in Christ. And if I'm in Christ, do you think God would ever let go of Jesus? The answer is no. And if you won't let go of Jesus, he won't let go of you either.”

#JustifiedByGrace
“The next time Satan accuses you of just being such an awful person, you know what you do, you disagree. And you think to yourself and you say it out loud, Jesus Christ came to die for awful people. He redeemed me by the blood of Jesus. No accusation that's made against me will stick because God is the one that justifies me. When you're told you're not good enough, when when you're told that I I will never be forgiven, we've we got I've gone too far, I've done too much, nobody will love me or nobody will accept me, we can be comforted by the only one whose opinion matters. The God of the universe has justified us.”

#GodsExtravagantLove
“Sometimes I think we mistakenly think the cross just appeased God's wrath. And, you know, it did satisfy God's wrath. But you know what the motivation of the cross was? God loved you. You when you get saved, it's not like you've just reached a neutral point, net zero. God's no longer mad at you. Paul wants to expand on that. It's not that he's not mad at you, it's that he loves you unimaginably, immeasurably, completely, extravagantly.”
31s
#SavedByTheCross
“Think about the cross. God used the free acts of evil men to kill his perfect innocent son. But that happened so that I could be saved. God used their awful choices to crucify his son so a son could resurrect and you could be saved today and have a reason to come to church. That's what God does. He takes those things in your life, all things, not just a few things, and he works them together for good.”
42s
#TrustGodInTheBroken
“A couple things that that doesn't say. It doesn't say all things are good, these are not. You live in a nasty awful world where people do nasty awful things. everything that happens to you isn't good. The promise is all things were together for good. God will work those out for your good in his glory. And sometimes we see that, fulfilled on earth, sometimes we won't. And that's just the truth. How are you gonna do this? And I don't know, but I know he will and I trust him.”
30s
#GodHoldsMe
“That's the truth. If it was up to me, I wouldn't hang on. But God is hanging on to me. It's not about my grip, it's about his. So, you should be comforted by twenty nine thirty. Even if you don't understand all the words, it should lead you to praise him. God will finish what he started in you. He will do it. You have reason to hope. His purposes will prevail.”
44s
#ServeOutOfGratitude
“The debt you owe to God is what you do with your life now. You see, there are a lot of people that I think serve God out of guilt in church. They feel so bad for all the things they've done, and you should feel bad for those things. But guess what? That man is dead if you're saved. Those sins have been tasked as far as the East is from the West. You don't have to worry about what happened. Your response is, now how do I live? You see, if you are serving God out of guilt, then how do you know when you've done enough? And how is that bringing you any joy and gratefulness? We actually serve out of thanksgiving to God. We serve out of gratitude to God because guilt is a horrible motivator.”

#ChristiansFightSin
“Now, I want you to know that fighting sin doesn't make you a Christian. Being a Christian causes you to fight sin. Let's not confuse the the fruit with the root, the same grace that that enables us to to, that saves us, enables us to fight against our sin. But if you are in Christ, what that says is by the spirit, you will put to death the deeds of the body. Will you struggle? Will you fail? Will you lose? Often you will, but you must fight because Christians don't lay down. We conquer not by our strength, but by his strength. Through the spirit, we put to death the deeds of the body.”
34s
#IdentityInChrist
“How can the spirit help me fight against sin? But the second thing this text shows is, I belong to God. I am his son. He is my father. This is my identity. Who I am is not near as important as whose I am. And so we get ready to celebrate the Lord's Supper, and you will see that body was broken, and that blood was shed to make you his own. Don't leave here this morning without knowing that for sure.”
51s
#AdoptedAndAccepted
“So you see this word condemnation, and it's it's a legal term. It's pitted against the word justification that we've learned about in the book of Romans. To be justified in the sight of God means you've been declared right with God, which is only possible through Jesus Christ. The opposite of being justified is being condemned, being hopeless, being guilty forever. And so, we've been justified, there's been a legal declaration that we've been made right with God, then he adopted us to his family, and then he said, nothing you will ever do will ever stop me from loving you. I've given God a million reasons to not love me and he hasn't taken one. Nothing, no created thing will separate me from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
