If you are looking for a church that combines a deep commitment to the historic, Reformed version of the Christian faith and a passionate desire to minister to both its members and its community with an intensely relevant Gospel, you should give LaGrave Avenue Christian Reformed Church your prayerful consideration. There is a place for you here and a ministry for you to perform.
We are a downtown church whose membership comes from all over the West Michigan region. As with other downtown churches, we are a diverse group in terms of age, occupation, marital status, and lifestyles. As a large church, we will allow you the freedom of anonymity or providing exciting opportunities for active involvement in multiple ministries.
We are a Christian Reformed Church, inheritors of a wonderful doctrinal tradition. Believing that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, our only infallible rule for faith and life, we are committed to "reforming" ourselves according to the Bible. Accordingly, we are a progressive church, strongly committed to moving ahead with God's mission to the world, and a traditional church, holding firmly to Biblical truth as summarized in the historic Reformed creeds.
Finally we are a down-to-earth church. We are committed to being real people who enjoy real life and who cry real tears. We are focused on a living Savior, who provides genuine solutions to the deep needs of a hurting world. And we are committed to need-meeting ministry in his name.
We want to invite you to join us in seeking Christ and serving him here at LaGrave Avenue Christian Reformed Church. For information on how you can become a part of LaGrave, please contact us.
