We are...
A group of people who gather to learn about and serve Jesus Christ. We are multi-generational and come from all around the Greater Lansing area.
A group of people who don't have it all together. We know the pain of broken relationships and bad decisions. We also know what it's like to lose family members, and some of us have walked long roads of chronic suffering (addiction, illness, rejection, the list goes on...).
A group of people who want to welcome others in the way that God has welcomed us. We believe that Jesus Christ, God's Son, offers hope for the suffering and ultimate victory over the brokenness around us and our own brokenness.
Our desire is that everyone who comes, whether seeking a church home, just visiting, or never having entered a church, would feel welcomed here. This is a place where Christ and all who desperately need him gather.
We want to be...

Christ-Centered
"Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me."
- John 15:4
Being Christ-Centered means we rely on Jesus as much as branches rely on the plant that they grow out of.
Experiencing true life is much more than “making the most” out of the few years we have on this planet. Experiencing TRUE life comes from knowing God—the Creator of the universe. The life we gain because of Him lasts forever.
We can’t experience true life on our own because we have rebelled against Him from the beginning. Because of our rebellion against this perfect God, we deserve His punishment.
Thankfully, God hasn't left us to our own devices. In the Person of Jesus, God came to us and offered us something we couldn’t reach on our own: everlasting communion with Him.
At Red Cedar Church, we strive to remember that we are centered on Him—we rely on Him.
Red Cedar Church belongs to the Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA). You can read the EFCA statement of faith here.
