OUR STORY
THE TOVEY FAMILY
After nearly two decades of pastoral ministry and considering the passions and gifts God’s bestowed upon us, we’ve found our greatest desire as a family is to serve by creating authentic gospel communities and helping others to live in the fullness of God’s love.
As we grow in understanding God’s overwhelming love for us, we are also finding freedom in the knowledge that we are “rooted and established in love” (Ephesians 3:17). No need for striving to prove ourselves to God, but rather trusting and freely living in His great love.
This is now the basis of our desire for others ― that they would also find freedom and grace in His great love.
Our renewed confidence of being rooted in God’s love has allowed us to be honest about what we desire for life and ministry, and gives way to a new vision to share and live out with those around us.
We created Rooted to Live Ministries to establish authentic gospel communities to grow and live in the fullness of God’s love, and share that life and freedom with others by way of home groups, one-on-one shepherding, teaching, equipping, and counseling.
