GROW is based on the knowledge of Jesus' growth on earth. The Gospel of Luke tell us:
"Jesus increased [grew] in wisdom, and in stature and in favor with God and man" Luke 2:52
GROW is a ministry platform assisting youth, young adults and churches on a journey of growth.
For something to grow, it needs proper inputs, care, support, time and supernatural intervention. GROW seeks to take a participant as they are, assess their developmental stages (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual), and make a plan to support their growth in multiple areas.
Each mentor is trained to walk a year's journey with a participant. Ideally, we like to have groups of 2-3 participants with 1 mentor. Participants make their own goals and the mentor supports the process. We train mentors to walk life alongside their group and offer individual or group support along the way.
STRATEGY
Our strategy is simple.
It's one-to-one or small group gatherings where mentors and mentees individualize a plan for a one-year journey and goal achievement!
Goals can be anything the mentee desires. We've learned that you can't motivate a goal that you don't 'own,' so you can aim as big as climb Mt Everest or as save for a pair of new shoes. Through GROW Ministries, we coach mentors to walk a journey with those that need support and offer mentors training and processing along the way.
Support to mentees can include a variety of inputs:
Educational Support. Experiential Learning. Mentoring. Counseling. Goal-setting. Accountability. Spiritual Development. Family Relationship Support. Creative Solutioning. Artistic Processing, Connecting to Opportunities / Resources.

LEADERS
We believe a healthy, refreshed leader will impact their world and multiply ministry efforts.
Therefore, we identify leaders who are in strategic churches and invite their leaders for a time to pause, be with the Lord, and commune with other like-minded sojourners. These refresh moments happen throughout the year.
We support leaders with things like:
Book Clubs, conferences, a weekend away, Zoom check-ins, leadership development workshops, fitness challenges
... and more!
Contact us if you’d like your church and/or ministry leader to be a strategic GROW Ministry partner and participate in our Book Clubs & Refresh Retreats.
