Many Faces


We have thousands of people connected to our churches. They all have a story of encountering Jesus, being a part of his church and how both have impacted their lives. We invite you to spend some time with some of them to see their faces and get a glimpse into their faith. And then tell us YOUR faith story!

A monthly worship gathering

Worship Circle

join us!


We’d love for you to join us each month at a Worship Circle gathering.  It's a time to pause, reflect and experience peace together.

These gatherings rotate between different Classis Grand Rapids South churches each month and are open to everyone who is seeking a moment to connect with God and others. It’s a space for all who are longing for community and peace. Whether you’re looking to find stillness or deepen relationships, this evening is for you.

If your church is looking for a simple way to host something impactful, we’d love to bring the Worship Circle to your space. We’ve got the full band—just need someone to open the doors. Let us know if you’re interested in partnering to host a future night of worship!
