A place to belong, become, and believe south of downtown Grand Rapids.

We are called by grace to be a community where every person discovers sacred belonging in Christ and the transformation found in his sacrificial love. Every person is welcomed and valued at Grace and celebrated for their unique personhood, regardless of their abilities, race, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic status, or life story.
Join Us for Worship

Every Sunday Morning at 10:30 a.m. in person & online.

Who We Are

Deep roots. Open doors.

Grace Church on Buckley started as a small chapel in 1949, rooted in ministry to the diverse neighborhoods near Buckley and Sheldon. Seventy-five years later, we’re still here.

We are a diverse body of believers united by our faith in God and our love for one another. We worship together on Sundays and are deeply rooted in our neighborhood.

Our Mission

“We are called by grace to be a community where every person discovers sacred belonging in Christ and the transformation found in his sacrificial love.”

Life At Grace

Sunday mornings are the epicenter of our life together, and our community expands beyond our worship services:
Sunday Worship
We gather every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. for worship shaped by Reformed liturgy — Scripture, prayer, music, and the Lord’s Supper. Nursery and children’s worship available.
Neighborhood Ministry
Our food pantry runs every Tuesday. Drop-in care is open three mornings a week. The Blessing Box at our entrance is available around the clock.
Youth Faith Formation
Our church is an intergenerational community. We offer nursery and children’s worship and partner with other churches in our community for youth programming.

Our Welcome

Grace Church celebrates LGBTQ+ people as image bearers, loved by God, and welcomes them whether single, in a dating relationship, or married. Those who confess Jesus Christ as Lord enjoy full participation in the life of our church, including ordination to the roles of elder and deacon, preaching, being married, having their children baptized, and filling all leadership roles as their gifts allow. We’ve been an affirming congregation since 2022.

Regular attendees are invited to give financially. Members of our community give out of gratitude to God and in response to his love for us. Our donations pay our staff; keep up our facilities; and support our ministries, fellow members, and local charitable organizations. Our deacons help to steward our donations wisely and appropriately.
