About Us

Sherman Street Church isn’t a building—we’re a community of people who want to know, love, and serve Jesus in all parts of our lives. ​

We’re on a mission.

Our mission is simple: ​To be a living testimony of God’s grace and justice in the city.

We hope that our words and actions will point people to a loving God who is on the move right here in Grand Rapids and around the globe.

We’re part of the Baxter neighborhood.​

​Sherman Street Church has been located in the Baxter neighborhood of Grand Rapids for more than 100 years (here’s more about our history if you’re interested). We’re committed to this place, and many of our members live nearby.​

We’re authentic and inclusive.

​"Accepting", "welcoming", and "authentic" are words people often use to describe Sherman Street. Maybe that's because we believe we can bring our whole selves to church - not just the best parts, and we strive for unity over uniformity. Check out our full statement of inclusion. For more about us, see our ​photos on Facebook and these dreams of our community.

We’re part of a larger community of believers. 

Sherman Street belongs to the Christian Reformed Church, a denomination of nearly 230,000 members in more than 1,000 congregations across the United States and Canada who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. 

If this sounds like a community you might want to be part of, we’d love to meet you.

Come and visit Sherman Street on a Sunday morning, talk with one of our pastors or staff, or email us at office@shermanstreetchurch.org.
