LUKE 3:11
Deep in our DNA is a desire to reach and serve our neighbors. We hope to meet and reach out to our neighbors respectfully, where they are--listening, empathizing, meeting needs and inviting neighbors into the freedom of Christ we enjoy ourselves. We want to model the selfless love of Christ, that puts others before ourselves.
Check out the ways we are living into our mission and striving to REACH our neighbors:
We have a strong tie to our local elementary school. The school is Cummings Elementary, a part of the Grandville School district.
Check out the ways we're supporting the kids in our community!
Studies have shown that many students who receive free or reduced meals at school go hungry over the weekend; we bring a bag of groceries to students at Cummings Elementary to help solve this problem. SRC was the first church in West Michigan to start this type of program and many churches have since started similar ministries. We bring about 15 bags and 15 snacks for students each week.
For children, elementary years are critical for their development, as they form values, establish self-esteem, and acquire academic skills. We partner with Cummings Elementary to bring Kids Hope mentors to local students. This program fosters transformative relationships between a student and an additional caring and consistent adult, empowering them to thrive.
A ministry of Standale Reformed Church, Kid's Connection provides quality Christian care for children 3 years to 12 years. Our certified staff provides the best love and home away from home environment around!

We are very excited to have started a new Community Mission Team in the last six months who are involved in organizing our efforts to missionally serve our community. The Community Mission Team is behind our efforts at Matthew's House and Servant's Community Church, two local ministries we’ve partnered with, and they are thinking creatively about new ways we can be the hands and feet of Jesus.
We have continued working with Matthew’s House Ministry by providing donations, as well as lunches and breakfast. Matthew’s House offers biblical direction to families in need, providing a safe environment, programs, and services to promote self-sufficiency and independence.
We have officially reserved 15 spots for our intergenerational mission trip to Rose Hill, NC to do Hurricane Florence relief work July 14-20. This is a trip where teens through adults go away for a week to do mission work TOGETHER. Older members teach younger members, and intergenerational relationships are strengthened within our church family as we serve others.
We have partnered with Servant’s Community Church to assist with building improvement projects. Recently, we provided a team of volunteers to upgrade their parsonage. Servant’s Community Church, a Reformed Church, is located in Grand Rapids.
Pastor Suzanne and our congregation want to walk by your side prayerfully through life's highs and lows. Whether you have a celebration or a concern, please let us know how we can pray for you.
