Faith Church is a church without walls. This means we are intentional in going outside of our four walls and the physical building to be the church to the community around us. We do this in multiple ways throughout the year!
Learn more about these initiatives below!
Share the Warmth
Share the Warmth is a community outreach program that shares gifts of warmth for the homeless in the greater Grand Rapids area. Each year, we provide gifts which include, but are not limited to: scarves, hats, gloves, socks, hand-warmers, snacks and hygiene items for our city's vulnerable community living on the street. A group of Faith Church volunteers and community partners hand-deliver each gift. This allows us to show kindness, engage in conversation and facilitate human interaction. Through the years, we've gotten to know these community members by name and look forward to this interaction each year!
Faith Youth
Faith Youth is a group of young people who are passionate about growing in their faith and building lasting friendships. Every Wednesday, they have youth group (Remnant). They come together to play games, worship and learn from God's Word. Additionally, they plan an event every month outside of the church, offering opportunities to serve, connect and enjoy time together.
If you're looking for an encouraging community of youth and young adults, Faith Youth is the place for you! For more information, follow @faith.youth.church on Instagram!
International Missions
Faith Church partners with a international organization, Ama International, to provide humanitarian relief and education to impoverished areas of Mexico. Through this partnership, we have been able to build a public restroom in an earthquake-destroyed community, build a commuity center and help build a school! We continue to support their job training and education programs which empower students to transform their lives. Countless lives have been impacted by this ministry partnership. Not only that, but Faith Church sends a group with Ama every August for a Back to School Missions Trip!
AMA Camp Unity
This 4-day camp experience is like no other!
Each year, we connect with churches throughout the midwest for a family camp adventure. Camp includes activities for kids, youth + young adults, nightly services and relationship building across different churches.
The Apostolic Ministers Alliance (AMA) established this camp in 2010, and continues to be an important community-building event for Faith Church. Each year, we raise money for families to attend who could otherwise not afford to go.
Christmas for Children
Christmas for Children is our longest running community program!
Established in 1995, this outreach was born from the heart of Pastor Tami Keller.
"Being a child in need, I recelived a gift from a program. This taught me the power and importance that every child should have a gift for Christmas." - Pastor Tami
Through the years, this effort has expanded, and we now serve hundreds of children each year to provide Christmas for them.
We also partner with Ama International with delivering the gifts and food pantries out to families!
Schools of Hope
Faith Church partners with The Edge Urban Church during the school year to provide an after-school reading and literacy program for second and third grade students at Kent Hills Elementary School, part of Grand Rapids Public Schools. The program provides one-on-one reading support for students who are at least one year behind grade level, helping them strengthen essential literacy skills and work toward reaching their current reading level by the end of the school year.
Through this community partnership, we are investing in local children, supporting education and helping students of Grand Rapids build the confidence and skills they need to succeed!
