Getting to 134 Division Ave N This Summer

when Division Avenue is a mess of construction rubble

and our church drive may be impassable...

We look forward to seeing you for summer Sunday services

and the 2:30 pm ordination on July 12!

The church entrance is via ramp or stairs to the Parish Hall front porch.

Please plan 15-20 extra minutes of travel and parking time to avoid using Division Ave.

If you are able to walk 2-3 blocks, please park at either:

• the 210 Ionia Ave Ellis Parking surface parking lot -and walk south to Lyon St, east across Division Ave and then south to our front porch. Ushers can validate parking on Sundays only.
• the Fountain St entrance of the Grand Rapids Community College parking ramp - and walk west along Fountain St, then carefully north up the narrow Winchester Pl NE 'alley' and through the lot to our front porch. Free Sunday parking without validation.
• nearby free weekend street parking on Lyon St, Fountain St or Library Pl.
• See maps below.

Unless patience is your virtue, and you know downtown well,

we recommend printing this map to bring with you the first time!
