C3 West Michigan’s Spiritual Community
We are a local West Michigan community formed of many perspectives, spiritual and secular, exploring what it means to be fully human, wrestling with meaning, and working together toward a better life.
C3 inspires spiritual, intellectual, and creative exploration and action, led by the questions, “what are the biggest challenges we face on our shared journey, and how do we respond to those challenges?”
