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.

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.

Upcoming Community Events

We offer a variety of events for our visitors. Please check back often to stay up-to-date as new events are added.

SERVE

Every year, LaGrave Church is honored to host students from other churches as part of SERVE. SERVE is a weeklong mission trip for teens in the United States or Canada that introduces middle school (Grades 6–8) and high school (Grades 9–12) students to spreading the gospel through missional living and confronting issues of justice.
