Feature on Fox17: Leaving the CRC

Our position as a LGBTQ+ welcoming church, meaning that we allow full participation in the life of the church, puts us at odds with the Christian Reformed Church Synod decisions of the past few years. As a result, we are leaving the denomination and entering a time of transition, like many other CRC churches in the Grand Rapids area.


Our Minister of Worship and Pastoral Care, Rev. Rebecca Jordan Heys, was interviewed by Fox17 as part of their story about the Grand Rapids churches leaving the denomination. As she noted, "Our intention was never to leave the CRC. Our longing was that a congregation like ours could hold that policy of full participation and still be a part of the denomination."
