What We Are

Servants Center is a nonprofit, non-denominational, faith-based organization providing high quality, relationship-based street outreach and ongoing support services to mentally ill people experiencing homelessness in the Grand Rapids, Michigan, area. We organized in 1993 to provide direct relationship-based ministry to people in need. Our goal is to be ambassadors for Jesus Christ as we carry out the Biblical imperative to help the poor. For over 30 years, we’ve helped thousands of highly vulnerable people go from living on the streets to living in stable, healthy situations for good.

What We Do

Currently, Servants Center is a guardian and a representative payee for over 275 people in the Grand Rapids area. We create a trusted relationship with our clients and provide ongoing direct services to cover the specific needs of each individual’s circumstances. We also provide training seminars and consulting services to help West Michigan churches develop effective poverty ministries among the poor in their own communities - urban, suburban, or rural.
