What if every child knew they had a place, a voice, and a role to play in worship – and every family felt equipped to nurture faith beyond the walls of the church?

Through GrowthRings®️ at Church and Home, churches are learning together, asking deeper questions, and exploring new ways to help the next generation grow a resilient, lifelong faith.
This month, we focused on Truth — creating space for children to ask questions, explore Scripture alongside trusted adults, and encounter a God they can know and trust.
Movement West Michigan is grateful to partner with GrowthRings®️ and walk alongside churches embracing this important work.
A second Learning Community begins in January 2028.

Made possible through generous funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

GrowthRings® at Church and Home is a shared journey helping churches think intentionally about how faith is formed across both church and family life.

Through this Learning Community, participating churches are learning together, asking deeper questions, and exploring how to help the next generation develop a faith that is rooted, resilient, and able to grow over time.

This month’s conversation centers on Truth — not simply on giving children the “right answers,” but on creating space for honest questions, exploring Scripture together, and helping children encounter a God they can trust.

Movement West Michigan is grateful to partner with GrowthRings® and walk alongside the churches participating in GrowthRings® at Church and Home. Together, we’re investing in the next generation by equipping leaders, strengthening churches, and encouraging thoughtful discipleship that can take root both at church and at home.

Ministry is meaningful work, but it can also be demanding.

At Movement West Michigan, we believe caring for leaders is part of caring for the whole community.

We want ministry leaders to have space to slow down, listen to God, receive encouragement, and tend to their own spiritual health—not just so they can keep going, but so they can lead from a place of greater wholeness, attentiveness, and grace.

Through retreats, spiritual direction, prayer, rest, and other restorative practices, we hope to help create a culture where leaders know they do not have to carry the weight of ministry alone.

Children’s ministry is meaningful work—but you don’t have to do it alone.

This fall, local small groups are launching across West Michigan for children’s ministry leaders to connect, encourage one another, pray, share ideas, and grow together.

Whether you’re new to ministry or have been serving for years, there’s a place for you to build relationships with leaders who understand both the joys and challenges of investing in the next generation.

Groups are forming in Holland, Grand Haven, Grand Rapids/Grandville, and Zeeland/Hamilton.

Interested in joining? Contact Rachel Brower at [email protected] or connect with a local group leader.

Let’s grow, serve, and invest in the next generation—together.
