About
Located in the center of downtown near Veterans Memorial Park (at the corner of Ransom St. & Fulton Ave.), First (Park) Congregational United Church of Christ of Grand Rapids is more commonly known as Park Church. Park Church has served the local community since 1836 and despite the traditional setting and long history, has a progressive approach to the Christian faith. Our faith may be two thousand years old but our thinking isn't!
Park Church brings together those who seek to be followers of Jesus Christ in a community built on respect, mutual care, acceptance and trust. We celebrate God's love, teach the Christian faith to all ages, and prepare people to serve all creation.
