REACHING OUR COMMUNITY
FIRST CHURCH is committed to sharing the love and message of Jesus Christ to the community around us. We believe we are planted in Grand Haven for a reason, and we are excited to see how He is continuously working here and the surrounding areas. Here are some things we are currently doing with the community:
BIBLES FOR GRAND HAVEN
Bibles for Grand Haven Ministry is an outreach ministry of First GH CRC to make God’s Word, the Bible, accessible to all. Bibles are purchased and distributed by First GH CRC volunteers to public venues such as restaurants, hotels, local hospitals, agencies, and coffee houses where they can be picked up for free by those interested. Church volunteers also highlight passages in each Bible to guide the reader specifically through the salvation story. Funded by donations from First Church members, every year over 1,000 Bibles are distributed in the West Michigan area.
RECYCLE MINISTRY
Staffed by volunteers, the Metal Recycle Ministry picks up all types of metal throughout the community and delivers that metal to a metal recycling facility twenty-five miles south for appropriate recycling. Items are collected, dismantled and separated into different types of metal before delivery to the metal recycle facility. Find out more here.
APPLIANCE MINISTRY
We receive donations of working, gently used appliances–washers, dryers, refrigerators, and stoves–and deliver them to families who are in need of and cannot afford to purchase these basic necessities. We receive the family requests from Love in Action. Find out more here.
