Crossroads Bible Church

First Church exists to promote the Kingdom of God by praising God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit ; being a household of God for all who wish to be a part of our church family ; learning from God's Word in order to grow in our faith ; enabling members to witness and serve in our neighborhood and in a needy world. In four words: Praising, Growing, Caring, Serving First Christian Reformed Church has been an active part of Grand Rapids for 150 years and at this location for nearly 90 years. Today we are a group of people of various ages and from assorted backgrounds. What holds us together is the love of God in Jesus Christ and a common commitment to share that love through the Holy Spirit here in Grand Rapids. We are part of the Christian Reformed Church, begun in 1857 on this continent, but with deep roots both in the European Reformation and in the ancient faith of the Church. In service to our community we seek to honor Jesus and to give new voice to the truth of His love passed through many centuries and in many cultures.

Welcome to Grace Episcopal Church We are part of the 78-million member Anglican communion and trace our history to the beginnings of Christianity. The Episcopal Church was planted in America by the Church of England in the colonies of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The earliest known celebrations of the Eucharist in North America by Anglicans were near San Francisco, California, in 1579, by Sir Francis Drake's chaplain, and in 1607 at Jamestown, Virginia. The liturgy we use today is essentially the same as then and retains its ancient structure and traditions. The General Convention is made up of the House of Bishops and the House of Deputies. It authors (and continues to amend) the Church's Constitution, the Book of Common Prayer, rules for the ratification of bishops, and through its canonical actions, rules for the governance of the Church.
