COMMUNITY MINISTRIES
To connect those in need in the greater Byron Center area to Jesus Christ through the ministries of His church.
Making fishers of men by practicing Christianity Outdoors.
At Grace’s Table, we want teen moms to feel loved, cared for, and part of a community. We don’t want them to live in isolation and apart from advocacy and hope.
We believe teen moms deserve hope, mentorship, hospitality, and the benefit of a team that will help them find resources, learn life skills, and gain access to healing through mental health support services.
As a team, we encourage them, equip them, and walk alongside them as they move towards their full potential as parents and adults.
Life Center’s purpose is to teach the discouraged or broken-hearted believers that they are complete in Jesus Christ, not in circumstances, people, or past hurts. Our passion and desire is to help people experience, mature in, and effectively communicate the grace of Jesus Christ so that all may know Christ as their Savior and live from His indwelling life. We also prepare and equip the saints to do the same ministry work in their homes, families, churches, and the community.
Life Center’s main office is in Grand Rapids. They also have two satellite offices in Byron Center (Frontline Bible Church) and Rockford. Learn More…
Remembrance Ranch is a 12-month therapy-based program. We exist to transform the lives of struggling teenagers and their families through the power of Jesus Christ. Impacting our culture for the glory of God and benefit of society.
