What Our Name Means

So what on earth does the name “Linden Grove” have to do with mentoring pastors and church leaders? “Pastor Matt” Ristuccia, Ministry Director and Member of the Board, answers that question in this short one-minute video. (Transcript below.)

“In June, the town where I live is dotted with linden trees in bloom. The flower is tiny, but it blossoms in drifts all over the tree. The tree itself is ideally shaped: round, symmetrical, with dense foliage for shade and shelter. And linden trees can live for hundreds of years.

Imagine a grove of linden trees. Older trees, younger trees, saplings. A grove filled with beauty, shade and shelter, life, growth and blessing. 

This is the metaphor for Linden Grove Ministries. We are a community of experienced mentors, nurturing and teaching younger leaders so that they can become fruitful men and women of God who will serve Jesus’ church well.”
