Historical Profile: Neland Avenue CRC
Grand Rapids, Michigan
Neland Ave. CRC was sponsored by Oakdale Park and Sherman Street. It was organized in 1915.
As with many churches near the old Calvin College campus, membership declined during the 1966-73 period as the college slowly relocated. (The membership drop in 1962 can be attributed to the organization of Grace CRC. Until organization, its membership was recorded at Neland Avenue.)
