KOREAN GRACE CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH
The Korean Christian Grace Church of Grand Rapids is a church affiliated with the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA or CRC for short). The CRC Church was founded by Dutch-Americans based on the theological traditions of the Reformer John Calvin and the theology and life traditions of Hermann Bavinck and Abraham Kuyper of the Netherlands. Reformed Churches are the churches that have inherited the theology of the Reformation in Europe, and the Presbyterian Church is a denomination that Pastor John Knox of England started by interacting with John Calvin. Therefore, they are denominations that share a very similar theology.
​
Grand Rapids Korean Grace Church held its first worship on October 4th, 1998.
