LIA is an organization in Grand Haven that we partner with in multiple ways. They serve the Tri-Cities area.  One of the ways we partner with them is through a food pantry at our church on Monday mornings from 9am-noon to those in the community who are in need of short-term relief.  We work closely with LIA who supplies our pantry with food and helps connect our guests with other needed resources as well.  We also host LIA Empower U classes at our Spring Lake campus that equips people with basic skills and empowers them with dignity.  Finally, we partner with LIA and other area churches to help people with housing needs through a program called Housing Ministry Collaborative (HMC).

Love INC is an organization in Muskegon that we partner with in multiple ways.  They serve the Muskegon Co. area.  We host Love INC's New Directions classes at our Muskegon campus that equips people with basic skills and points them above all else to Jesus.  At the beginning of December each year, we host Love INC's Christmas store at our Muskegon campus.  This isn't just a free store, each participant has earned points to use to buy Christmas presents for their loved ones.  We also work closely with Love INC to help meet needs in the Muskegon area including housing, ramps, and other needs as needed.

One child. One hour. One time a week. Kids Hope USA facilitates relationships between loving, caring adults who are matched with children that teachers have identified as being at-risk academically or socially.  Our Spring Lake campus partners with Jeffers Elementary School. When kids feel loved and valued, they are better able to learn, grow and succeed. And what better way to make a difference than right here in our own community?
