While more can be found on our 'What we believe' page regarding some of the basic truths our church holds and why we affirm them, here's a bit about us.

Zutphen :
A different name, we know, but it echoes back to the area of the Netherlands where several members who founded the congregation emigrated from. Our location in the rural communities between Hudsonville and Zeeland allows us to reach out and into this community with various activities and service projects.

Christian Reformed :
We deeply value being part of a larger body of churches called the Christian Reformed Church. Our denomination's roots go back to the Reformation and trace themselves through the countries of Western Europe. To find out more about the denomination we are affiliated with, visit the CRC site.

Some basic info about us :
• We have between 150-250 people worshiping with us on Sunday morning, with diversity in ages and demographics.

• Our worship services are held each Sunday at 9:30am and 5:00pm. Visiting?

• Our pastor, Josh VanDrunen, has been with us for about three years. He and his wife Stephanie have two children. He continues to challenge and encourage us in our devotion to Jesus Christ.

• We believe church to be much more than just a worship service and some cookies on Sundays. Our congregation values discipleship and fellowship, so we have a variety of Bible studies and prayer groups for participation... for any age. Visit any of the links under 'Educate + Involve' to learn more.

• Our greatest desire is to be what our mission statement says: a church body devoted to Jesus Christ that glorifies God, strengthens our relationships with each other, and has a positive impact in our community and beyond.
