We are happy that you have chosen to visit our website. Hopefully you will
learn more about our church and consider joining us for our Sunday worship at 10:30 a.m.
Our church welcomes all who are looking to participate in a Christian fellowship, whether as visitors, vacationers,
or members. We are "followers of Jesus Christ and a community of faith and love, open to all people". Our tradition
is accepting of different religious beliefs and encourages all believers to grow spiritually in their faith and in their relationship
with God.
We are a progressive church of 125 + members &
friends who reside throughout the Muskegon and White Lake Area. Some of us are seasonal attendees who either venture
south during the winter or come north during the summer.
Our
church building is used for a number of community functions during the week such as our church street hockey team, alternative
energy, CROPWALK, & "Share the Blessing" Food Pantry.
Sunday
morning at 10:30 is a special time in our life when the whole congregation gathers to worship and praise God. Children are
welcome and there is a pastoral message just for them. We have a multimedia presentation that enhances our worship experience.
A modern, well-equipped and supervised nursery is provided for those under age seven. After worship everyone is invited
downstairs for a time of fellowship and refreshments.
