Our 40th Anniversary
We are thrilled to be celebrating God's faithfulness for the past 40 years.
Our big celebration and fund raising event was held at Remembrance Reformed Church in Grand Rapids, on October 2. We enjoyed the company of 400 people including current supporters and new friends.
The TerMaat-Westown Family Development fund was introduced at the celebration. This ongoing fund will allow "The Other Way" Ministries to expand programming to develop neighborhood individuals and, most importantly, families into leaders in our community.

“The Other Way” Ministries envisions a community where Westown neighbors . . .
- Value people of all ages, races, abilities and cultures
