MAJIC stands for Musical Arts for Justice in the Community and is an eight concert series which will be held in our new church home at 250 Commerce SW. Held at 7:00 pm on the second Friday of every month from October through May the series will feature a wide variety of local and regional performers and an equallyl eclectic range of music styles. The concerts are free with a suggested donation of $10 which wil benefit the Grand Rapids Coalition to End Homelessness.

Through MAJIC we will hope to: help house the homeless, make our new church home visible and accessible to the community, and promote musical arts in our community.

2 Years in Heartside!

Yes it has been 2 years since we moved to our new home in Heartside. Read about our move through our "wall-breaking" ceremony, the "clean-up days" (found under the "New Church Home" link), the "walk" to our new church on October 7, 2007, and pictures of our new sanctuary.

New pictures (like the one to the left) by Paul Petersen have been added - see them on our "New Home" Page.
