SRC Care Team Ministry
Our Care Team of SRC Deacons and Elders is organized into eight teams to help support the church’s pastoral ministry in meeting the needs of a diverse congregation. This support network helps bring comfort and support to church members in times of loss, illness, bereavement, and when special needs arise.
Kid's Hope USA
Second Reformed Church is an active participant in Kids Hope USA, a national non-profit organization, which facilitates mentoring relationships with at-risk children through church-school partnerships.
One child for one hour is the heart of Kids Hope USA. That means one caring adult mentoring one at-risk child for one hour each week. Kids who feel loved and valued are better able to learn, grow and succeed. We want to make sure these kids know we care!
Dianne Gill* is our Kids Hope Director. Her duties include recruiting, training and scheduling Kids Hope mentors. She also enlists prayer partners to pray for each mentor and student.

Little Scholars Learning House
A mission site within our own walls, our support of Little Scholars Learning House includes offering lunches and meals for their monthly 16-member staff meetings, and preparing breakfast snacks and books for the 50 children they serves. We continue to lift their employees and children up in prayer!
Taking Christ to the campus
The site for Second Reformed Church was originally selected for its proximity to Kalamazoo’s two flagship centers of learning: Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo College. Offering spiritual guidance to students at these campuses has been a continuing priority for our church.
Along with providing office space for local Young Life College staff, Second Reformed Church is committed to be a source of encouragement and support to Young Life College campus leaders in Kalamazoo.
Our mission is to prayerfully disciple, encourage, and nurture these young leaders to love and serve those who God has placed in their path. We extend hospitality in our homes and church facilities for Young Life meetings, Bible studies, evenings of fun and fellowship, and for special events.
Our doors are open to all students wanting the support of a church home and Second family.
