That difficult cultural topics will be tackled so that students can talk through, think about and develop a Christian worldview about how to engage culture.

For parents to be equipped to help their students grow in faith and navigate the rapid changes they experience from middle school to high school to college and adulthood.

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
