Grand Rapids City Life
Grand Rapids City Life works in partnership with Grace Christian Reformed Church to reach and empower youth in one of the most impoverished neighborhoods of West Michigan. This ministry is headed up by Jason Carrigan, who moved with his family into the neighborhood to better love kids and serve the community in 2011.
