Vacation Bible School (VBS) – Every summer we host vacation bible school for grades pre-K thru 6th. Each year our theme changes and children have a fun time doing arts & crafts, recreational activities, music and more while learning about God. You can get the 2019 Vacation Bible school form and Media Release Liability forms from the church office starting the middle of May and return them to the church office at the address listed on our contact page.

Our church office is still operating remotely with limited “in the building” hours. Please contact the church office with any questions, prayer requests or information: 616-696-1140

We Are Relaunching Church!

In-Person worship returns to Cedar Springs UMC on Sunday, September 27^th!

Join us at our new worship time: 9:30am – for our first in-person worship service since March!

We will require masks and social distancing as part of our overall safety plan.

Your safety is our first priority, so church will look a little different.

You can expect temperature checks when you enter the SOUTH DOORS and we ask that you remain vigilant with your social distancing practices. We can only do this if everybody participates as one mind of the body of Christ.

Of course we acknowledge that not everybody is ready for in-person worship services, and we will continue to offer an online experience. Our online worship will now be available Sunday evenings due to us recording live worship.

Together we honor God who continues to bless us during this difficult time. Thank you for continuing to be the Church! If you have any questions, please contact the church office

Blessings of peace and love,
