Our Three Fold Vision: 
Empower, Reach and Connect 
Round Grove United Church UCC Missions and Outreach program reaches beyond the walls of the Church to take the message of God’s love into our communities. It is our belief that there is a fullness of God’s intended blessing in each believer’s life that can only be realized when we allow God’s love to flow through us in service to others (Philemon 1:6 NIV). Every Round Grove member and friend has some gift, talent or ability that can be used by God to make a difference in our community.  Join us in empowering others by reaching out and connecting with our communities.  EMPOWER: Empower Round Grove members and friends to use their gifts, talents, and abilities to reach others. We provide tools and training
