Forgot your checkbook?
The best way to give your offering from home is simple and free. Use your bank or Credit Union’s bill pay feature. Just have the bank or credit union send the money to New Day Community Church, 3600 Nichols Rd., Kalamazoo, MI 49004. If an account number is required just type “offering” – which normally works. All offerings that come in this way will be entered as Tithes. If you wish to designate an offering for a specific ministry you’ll need to notate that designation on the bill pay form (most come with a note or memo option). We also accept offerings through PayPal on our website!

Next year we are most likely going some place new for our annual church camping trip–Cran-hill Ranch! Cran-Hill is located 1 hour north of Grand Rapids (14444 17 Mile Road Rodney, MI 49342) and is going to be a fun new experience for us as a church. They have horses, a rock climbing wall, lake activities, and more (some have an additional cost which we will communicate in advance)! Also, we could potentially have our own area of the campground reserved and our own cabin, kitchen, and meeting room.
Check out their summer camp promo to get a glimpse of many of the activities we will have access to!
