Welcome
The Way MicroChurches is a growing family of simple churches in Grand Rapids and beyond. Our name comes from the Book of Acts, where the church was called The Way because they followed Jesus—who is The Way—and His way of life. As Jesus said …
John 14:16
I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Matthew 4:19
Come, follow me.
