Our mission is to maintain an outreach center in the Grove area of James City County in order to minister to the physical and spiritual needs of the poor and disadvantaged in the community.

Grove Christian Outreach Center was established in February 2000 when Thomas McCormick, long-standing mail carrier for the Grove community, acted on a calling from God to help people he met on his daily rounds. Since then, the Center has grown to meet the daily needs of the community. There are approximately 1,400 households in Grove with over 3,400 residents. Our goal is to treat each person we serve with dignity and respect and to show the love of Christ while meeting practical, everyday needs.
