Noel’s Church Locator
Jul 11, 2007 Print This Post
Because there are so many college students and other transients in our church, we experience constant turnover. People graduate, get jobs, and move all the time. One of the most common questions I get is
“Do you know of a church in [INSERT CITY NAME] here?”
Most of the time, I don’t. Some of the time I do. This page is my best attempt at helping Riv people find a church when they move out of the Lansing area. Please note a couple things:
1) I am not “vouching for” every church on this list. Every one of them has a different flavor, leadership model, and differing doctrine on closed-handed issues. I have done my best to do a little bit of research on the churches that land on my locator, but often I am going on someone’s recommendation.
2) Whenever I am personally connected to a church or pastor, I make a note of this on the map. If there is no such note, odds are I haven’t personally met the pastor or attended the church. This may or may not be up to date as I meet a lot of people and only update this map when I have time to do so.
Click here to view my Church Locator.
Oh, and if you need to access this in the future, you can find a link to it on the sidebar to the right.
If you are unable to find a church on my locator, here are three places you can look:
1) Acts 29 – These are churches affiliated with Acts 29, a church planting network we work with.
2) Vision 360 – These are churches affiliated with Vision 360, another church planting network I have lots of respect for.
3) You can peruse the comments on this post for other churches recommended by people who visit this blog. If you have any churches you would like to add, please comment on this post with the contact info of any churches that you feel people may want to check out. The info I need is:
Church Name
Website
City and State
Denomination and/or Know Affiliations
Style
Any Additional Comments
I can’t promise I will add every church I hear about or that I will do so fast, but life is full of disappointments, isn’t it?

ORCHARD GROVE KEEPS IT REAL!
We believe:
It’s OK to have doubts and ask questions.
It’s OK to sit back and observe and analyze.
It’s OK to disagree with things you hear us say.
Maybe you’re wondering who God is and how He might relate to you. Maybe you’re checking out the claims of Christianity, but aren’t quite sure how or if organized religion fits into your life. If that describes you, great! We’ve designed our weekend services so you can feel comfortable seeking the truth at your own pace, with no arm-twisting.

noel-
i just moved to boston and my roommate and i are looking for a church. we are painfully coming to the realization that it’s way easier to find a good punk rock show than a church similar to riv or mars hill.
but we will keep looking and check out the suggestions on churchrelevance.com

I’m kind of surprised that the other Mars Hill isn’t in your list of churches. I know there are some doctrinal differences between Riverview and Mars Hill (the question of female leadership in the church comes to mind), but it still seems as though Mars Hill would be a great church for people moving to the Grand Rapids area (Ada Bible is good too). Then again, maybe the reason that it is not included in the list is that no one has recommended it thus far. If that is the case, then I would recommend it. I subscribe to the podcast and attended a service there earlier this year and have found it to be a great church.
August 27th, 2007 at 9:01 pm
This is a great idea. We tend to move every 3-4 years and one of the hardest things is finding a new church.
Two churches for you –
Church Name: Faith Community Church
website: http://www.faithcommunitychurch.net
city & state: Janesville, Wisconsin
denomination: Non-denominational – Willow Creek association member

Church Name: Austin Christian Fellowship
Website: http://www.acfellowship.org/home/index.php
City and State: Austin, TX
Denomination: Non-denominational
Style
Any Additional Comments: Being in the Live Music Capital of the World, many worship services are more focused on “performing” rather than “worshipping” our Father (something I think Dan Price always did well). The lead worship singer at Austin Christian Fellowship reminds me of the style of Dan Price at Riverview.

Church like Riverview.
In north Scottsdale, AZ I think folks would like Highlands Church. Couldn’t find the list of churches on your blog but if this is not on it you could add it.
Thanks. I’m new to the church and really feeling much more in touch with my relationship with Jesus. Didn’t think I’d find a church here like Highlands but I have!

The Chapel
http://www.chapel.org
Grayslake, IL
Non-Denominational-Christian
Contemporary services with Bible-based messages to empower people to live Christ-centered lives. The Chapel is a mult-site church in the Chicago-land Area. They currently have established (5) different campuses, and have aspirations of continuing to start more in order to change the heart of Chicagoland.
I attended Riverview on 6/22/08, and thoroughly enjoyed the service. I was visiting some friends that regularly attend. I have been attending The Chapel-Grayslake, IL-over the past 5 years and found many similarities, aspirations, and visions with Riverview. Our pastors visited some other churches that have been successful with multi-campus churches when they began to expand…there might be someone at The Chapel who could help provide guidance in Riverview’s mult-site vision.
If you would like any further details or would like the names of people to contact at The Chapel, please feel free to contact me.
God Bless!!

Thornapple Valley Church in Hastings, MI
http://www.tvcweb.com
Thornapple Valley Church is a place where everything is designed to help you and your family in your spiritual journey.
If you’ve never come to TVC, we encourage you to check out “what makes this place so different”. For many people, just one visit has changed their life.
Our vision as a corporate church is “summarized” in a single sentence:
“TO DEMONSTRATE AUTHENTIC CHRISTIANITY FROM THE HEART IN AN ATMOSPHERE OF ACCEPTANCE.”
At TVC we are convinced the Bible teaches us to live life in such a way that people see us for who we really are.
No masks
No facades.
No religious charades.

Hello from Pittsburgh….I wish a couple of those Philadelphia churches were out west, in Pittsburgh. And pray I can find one.
July 30th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Hope Presbyterian Church
http://www.hopepres.com
Memphis, TN
Very similar to Riverview: free coffee and other goodies in the lobby, casual dress code, young pastors, innovative methods
I attended Sunday night’s “The Stirring” service, for which they have the following tagline:
“The Stirring is a worship experience that seeks to recapture the greatest aspect of the Church – its willingness to interact with culture, dwell in it and understand it, earning the right to speak to it and influence it (where needed).”
They have live artists painting pictures, great worship music and a conversational approach to teaching. Would definitely go back.

Church Name: Heartsong Church
Website: http://heartsongchurch.net
City and State: Cordova, TN
Denomination: Planted by Christ Methodist Church of East Memphis
Style: Contemporary
Comments: Modern worship, very laid-back atmosphere, but a huge fire for God throughout the sanctuary. The church is smaller than many in the area and is set back in the woods, which breeds a sense of peace while you’re there. The people I’ve encountered thus far have been so friendly and helpful. They have many small groups to choose from and lots of great events to pull in people from the community, giving them an opportunity to experience the love of Jesus through Heartsong’s staff and attendees. Their bedrock beliefs are pretty basic, but their central call is love.
October 21st, 2008 at 9:30 am

Living Hope functions with three goals:
to worship God We believe that God alone is worthy of our praise and so our desire is to worship Him in all of our lives (our families, our jobs, our relationships, our church services, our budgets, our music, our possessions, and our priorities). Our desire is to glorify God by rejoicing in Christ’s saving work on the cross.
to reach the community We believe that God desires to draw more and more people into this enthusiastic and joyous life of worship and service to Him. For this reason, Living Hope Church will be committed to impacting the local and global community with the great news of Jesus Christ.
to grow as a family of faith Our desire is to continually grow in our knowledge of, devotion to, and passion for God. Growth happens in the context of community, not in isolation. For this reason, we commit ourselves to spur each another on toward a fuller, more passionate devotion to God.
