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?”

Deana Weibel
Guest Teacher
Deana Weibel, Ph.D., teaches at GVSU and is both a space anthropologist and an anthropologist of religion who undertook her first field study in the French shrine towns of Lourdes and Rocamadour. Fascinated by how “sacred space” is defined, she continued to pursue her lifelong interest in outer space by conducting fieldwork with NASA scientists and astronauts, propelling her work of studying religion in space. Her conclusions are found in her new book, The Ultraview Effect, What We Can Learn From Astronauts about Awe, Humility and Exploring the Unknown.
Joy Zimmerman
Musical Guest
Joy Zimmerman cultivates joy and community with a clear, rich voice. A folk singer/songwriter at home on guitar and violin, Joy brings audiences lyrical songs and stories, as well as occasional fiddle tunes. Joy’s passion for music began with violin lessons before kindergarten. Many miles of classical music later, she picked up a guitar, found her voice of honey, and discovered a talent for songwriting. Her latest album, Where the Light Lives, debuted at #6 on the Folk Alliance International (FAI) Folk Chart..
