Thornapple Community Church

About this church

Thornapple Community Church in the Cascade area of Grand Rapids worships Sundays at 9:30 a.m., followed by refreshments and fellowship. The congregation belongs to the Reformed Church in America and describes itself as an intergenerational neighborhood church welcoming people of all abilities. Its ministry balances inward spiritual formation, shared community, and outward service and evangelism.

Children ages three through fifth grade are invited to children’s church during the summer, while the school-year ministry pattern follows current announcements. Choir and other congregational musicians contribute on selected Sundays. Fellowship events, outreach, and ministry-year celebrations create additional ways to meet people outside worship. A first-time household should arrive before 9:30 and stay afterward for refreshments if they want an easy introduction to the community. Families should confirm the current children’s format because it changes seasonally. Special Sundays, choir participation, and ministry-year events are posted on the homepage and calendar and may affect the usual morning routine.
