Clubhouse 2:52:

(Pre-K to 5th Grade): 

During our 11:00 AM service, kids start in a large group setting in our Clubhouse and then go to their classrooms for age specific lessons.  

First Look and Clubhouse 2:52 are part of the Orange Ministry.  Orange is the concept that Red (the heart of a child’s parents) combines with purple (the heart of the church) to make Orange.  Orange Ministry lays out a plan for Hager Park and parents to work together to teach our kids about God through singing, dancing, live acting performances, and lessons that carry through the week at home.

Youth Group meets in the Lodge on Sunday nights from 5pm-6:45pm. During this time, you can expect a game to connect us as a community, a time of worship to form us, a lesson to grow us, and small groups so we can reflect. We model our ministry Thessalonians 2:8, which says: ‘Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.’ The hope of our community is to share who God is with one another as well as share who we are with each other.

Both the Middle and High School Youth Groups share a meal together from 6:15-6:45

Middle School Youth Group:

For 6th through 8th graders: Meets in the Lodge on Sunday evenings from 5:00 PM to 6:45 PM.

Gems:

Girls in 1st through 5th grade are introduced to Jesus as they build a closer relationship to God and the world around them, making connections with one another and their community.  We meet twice a month on Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 8:00 pm in “The Lodge” behind our main church building.

Cadets:

Boys in 3rd through 8th Grade are introduced to Jesus not only through Bible lessons and small group discussions, but through earning merit badges, camping trips, pinewood derby races, and other special events.  Cadets learn from the example of Christian men in word and deed, helping these young men to grow spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.  We meet every Monday from 6:30 through 8:30 pm in “The Lodge” behind our main church building.

“A fresh expression is a form of church for our changing culture established primarily for the benefit of people who are not yet members of any church.”

A fresh expression of church is not something temporary like a mission trip or an annual sporting event that simply gathers people together. It is not a tweak of the present form of church, like a new worship service. It’s not an arm of a present church, like a food pantry. It’s not a new name for a revamped, long-standing ministry. And it’s not merely a step toward a church. It’s more than all these things. It is church!

We currently have one Fresh Expression of Church meeting nights from 5-6:30PM. It is affectionately called “Police Church” and our members are first responders from our area police and fire departments with their spouses or significant others.

Contact: Pastor Mark for more information.

We partner with and financially support over 30 international and local missionaries and mission organizations. From our 10-year partnership with Paradise Bound Ministries in the Village of LaReyna, Guatemala to Family Promise homeless families ministries in Grand Rapids and Love Your Neighbor ministries right here in Hudsonville.

We invite one of these ministries to join us monthly during our morning service to share what’s happening in their ministry and how we as a congregation can get involved.

We also plan and schedule regular mission trip opportunities for our Youth and Adults to serve for a day or throughout the year.
