Community and Church Overview:
Elk Rapids Bible Church is nestled in the small town of Elk Rapids, MI (population 1,500+) amongst K-12, middle, and high schools. We are surrounded by inland lakes, the Elk River, Grand Traverse bays, state and national forests, golf courses and we are near Lake Michigan. The greater Grand Traverse Region is considered a “sportsman’s paradise.”
Elk Rapids is also 20 minutes away from Traverse City (population 15,000+) home of the National Cherry Festival. The population of Elk Rapids and Traverse City swells during the summer and early fall months due to the tourism industry and a migrant worker population that harvests the cherry and apple orchards that thrive here.
We are a small church of 30 or so people that grows larger during the tourist season. Our deep desire is to grow, as Elk Rapids is largely unchurched and ripe for the harvest of souls that need to hear the Good News of the Gospel and of Jesus Christ.
