Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone is welcome. No two Alphas look the same, but generally they have three things in common: food, a talk, and good conversation. Classes are held annually. Contact Nicole Davis at ndavis@brooksidecrc.org for more information.

Our Mobile Food Pantry is held on the 4th Monday, January-April and June-November. Registration begins at 5:00pm. Food is distributed from 6:00 to 7:00pm. Mobile Food Pantry is a monthly distribution of free perishable food for those in need. This is a gift to our community as an extended expression of God's love and care for all people. We pray that these groceries will help our guests through a time of financial difficulty. The food has been purchased from Feeding America of West Michigan. From our guests, we simply request name, address, phone number, and a reason for the need for food. No additional verification is necessary. A record of our recipients is kept so that, in the event of a recall of any items we distributed, we can notify the guests to discard the items.

At Brookside Pastoral Care is given by the pastors and other appointed leaders. Our Pastor of Formation and Care and Senior Pastor are available to give care and comfort to members in times of sorrow and in joy. Brookside elders, deacons, and other leaders are equipped to be active in relationships of pastoral care. You are encouraged to talk to your Shepherd Elder or Service Deacon as they provide ministries of spiritual and physical care for members and those in the surrounding community. Brookside also participates in the Church Assistance Program (CAP). This is a confidential service which provides initial counseling services for any member who is in need of help.
