Serving Our Community
LaGrave Church has been rooted in our neighborhood for over 150 years. We serve the Heartside area and city of Grand Rapids by working with community partners to meet the needs of our neighbors.
Partners & Outreach Teams
As we live out God’s call to work for the peace and prosperity of the city, we help support or partner with outside organizations dedicated to community service.
Community Programs
Heartside Financial Assistance Program
The mission of LaGrave’s Heartside financial Assistance Program is to help keep people housed. Housing insecurity is one of the largest challenges facing our neighborhood. LaGrave, in partnership with Access of West Michigan, offers financial assistance to those in our 49503 neighborhood who are struggling and qualify for assistance.
Apply TodayHeartside Foot Care Clinic Program
Once a month, LaGrave partners with Dégagé, alongside Calvin University, nurses, and other volunteers to host a free open house which provides haircuts, foot care, food, and connections to our neighbors.
Global Outreach
Moved by the Spirit, we hear Jesus’ call to share his good news with our neighbors. We share that good news through words and actions. We share that good news with our nearby neighbors and our neighbors around the world.
Missionaries at LaGrave
LaGrave supports 42 missionaries and 7 other ministries in 28 countries. We do this through two mission groups: The LaGrave Mission Committee and the Henry Beets Mission Society.
The Mission Committee primarily supports missionaries that are sent out by the agencies of the Christian Reformed Church, such as Resonate, World Renew, and ReFrame. The Henry Beets Mission Society supports missionaries who are working with agencies that do not receive denominational support, allowing us to partner with a variety of mission causes. Henry Beets now supports over 25 missionaries relying solely on special collections, individual giving, estate, and memorial gifts.
