Dan Chapin: Youth for ChristKCC Missions Logo

Kentwood Community Church partners with Dan Chapin, who serves with Grand Rapids Area Youth for Christ. He and his wife Ronda, along with kids, Zack and Amanda, are members of our church.

Youth for Christ wants every young person in the Grand Rapids area to have the opportunity to make an informed decision to become a follower of Jesus Christ. Its Campus Life program ministers to students in schools throughout the Grand Rapids area, while its Youth Guidance program ministers to troubled youth who attend Alternative High Schools or are lodged at the Kent County Juvenile Detention Center.

Dan is passionate about raising up new leaders to reach new people. He is currently the acting executive director and is helping YFC reduce debt and strengthen staff and programming while it searches for a new permanent director. Please pray that YFC will be able to sell its building soon and find new space to rent. And pray for Dan as he tries to balance his many duties while also raising his personal support and support for YFC’s work in the Grand Rapids area.
