Our Name 

In 2015, our church was originally planted as Harvest Bible Chapel North Muskegon out of the faithful ministry of Harvest Spring Lake. Ever since then, God has been writing a unique story through His work in our church, so in 2019, we changed our name to Christ Church. This name was chosen with great intentionality. We wanted the name of our church to clarify both our mission and our message.

Christ

For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. — 1 Corinthians 2:2

We wanted our church, in its name, to highlight the only name we want people to know: Christ. We want to know nothing except Christ and Him crucified. He is the cornerstone. We are baptized into His name. The Gospel is His story. We are called to live by faith and grace, in Christ, as a new creation. No other name is higher.

Church

Jesus said,“I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” — Matthew 16:8

The original Greek word for church is “ekklesia,” meaning “to call out of.” The church is the gathering of those called out by God. We are called out with a purpose and a mission: to glorify God by loving God, loving others, and making disciples of all nations. The church is made up of disciples following Christ who are going into the world to make disciples. We are on a mission individually as disciples and together as the church.
