About Family Church

 

How it all started...

Family Church started like many church plants...with a dream and a Bible study. That Bible study grew and so did the dream. A small group of people decided it was time to move from a Bible study to a church and began the process of forming Family Church.

Family Church was blessed to be able to purchase a church building in Zeeland Michigan from the Reformed Church in America. That church, Peace Reformed, had passed away a few years prior and we were excited to bring it back to life as a new non-denominational church called Grace Chapel.

 

Expanding the vision...

In 2017 Pastor Adam Grill began to cast a fresh vision for a church that would focus on teaching people how to Love God, Love People and Make Disciples of Jesus.


At the same time, we began the process of renovating the building God had given us. We wanted to create a kids & teen space that was unlike anything in our area! We wanted to create a church that felt like home as soon as you walked in. 

So we hired the best tattoo artist in town and started on the kids and teens space! Volunteers began blowing out walls and transforming the rest of the church! You will have to come see it!!!

Where we are headed...

Jesus has been blessing this church beyond measure. The inside of our building is updated and amazing! We have moved from a Bible study to now 5 services! We have grown from a few people to now thousand + every week!

In 2020 we kept growing and actually launched a 2nd campus!  This is a strategic part of our vision at Family Church.  As we grow, we also want to keep the feeling of meaningful community where people can know one another and use their gifts to serve.  Rather than establishing one mega-church facility, we believe God wants us to produce multiple community churches.

As we move into the future we are expanding our missions’ efforts locally and around the world. We are also in the planning stages to update the exterior of our building.  We don't know what all God has in store, but we hope to have you join us in building God's Kingdom!
