Hi there ! Looking for a church home? I will by God’s grace update this page with recommended local churches as I come across them. Please scroll down for a list of recommended U.S.A churches (states, cities, towns, townships, villages and counties across the country), as well as recommended churches specific to the Grand Rapids, Michigan area. For a much bigger list of churches in your local area, visit: http://www.superpages.com/yellowpages/C-Churches – click on your state, and then your city. You will see a huge list of churches in the area. You can further filter the search results based on your preferences (e.g. by denomination or zip code).

I pray you find our list of USA Recommended Churches helpful (see list below). I don’t think any church on this list is perfect. I am however praying and believing along that God will lead and guide you to the right church for *you*.

If you have any further questions about finding a church, please let me know.
