We live in a city that boasts more almost 500 different congregations -- members of God's body who are rich and poor; black, brown, and white; native-born and immigrants; men and women. G-RAP exists to unite our diverse group of Grand Rapids pastors, reconcile divisions between Christians, and speak with one voice for justice.
