ResLife Exists To Win Souls And Make Disciples
Having a heart for the kingdom is something we are passionate about at Reslife. Experience real worship, learn, and grow in your relationship with God. Our desire as a church family is to impact those in our community to develop committed followers of Jesus Christ to reach the world. Through our four foundational pillars: Word, Worship, Generations, and Missions, we want to show what God can do through us and for us. We are dedicated to showing people how relevant the Word of God is to our everyday lives.

Our History
It was November 5, 1967, when Pastor James E. Bugg, along with 34 others, met in a conference room of the By-Pass Motel in Grandville and held the first service of what would become Resurrection Life Church. This fledgling congregation then called the People’s Church, started as a place to connect and grow with fellow believers who found the Holy Spirit to be a reality in their lives, and to encourage others in this same relationship with Christ.
