Our Mission

Who we are

We are Grand Haven Church of God. A name denoting our city of residence. Yet, there is more to who we are than simple geography. In our name lies our identity. That identity becomes our mission: A Grand Haven Church on mission with Christ and His Spirit.

Our goals and ambitions are incorporated in our mission to being a GRAND CHURCH!

Grand implies BIGGER. We serve a big God who does big things.
Grand implies BETTER. We anticipate Gods better for us.
Grand implies BRIGHTER. We shine Gods love to our world.
Grand implies BOLDER. We stand for and speak Gods Word.

Our vision and character are nested in our mission to being a HAVEN in a troubled world.

Haven is a harbor. A place where lives are turned around in Christ.
Haven is a refuge. A place of peace in a troubled world.
Haven is a favorable locale. A place for nurturing and maturing.

“We are on a mission to be the Church of God for Grand Haven.”

— Pastor Nathan C. Strom
