Heartside Ministry

Heartside Ministry Heartside Ministry is now a division of Mel Trotter Ministries. Please follow MTM as we move forward

Since 1983, Heartside Ministry has worked to enrich and empower the people living in the shadow of downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan’s second largest city. Heartside Neighbors* are often homeless, with little or no income, struggling with mental and physical disabilities or addiction. Poor in the things of this world but rich in the things of the spirit, they are brimming with talent, resolute in th

eir faith--hopeful, caring, and deeply committed to the community they have found with one another. This ministry, with its many volunteers, donors and staff, has worked tirelessly to meet the unmet needs of the Neighbors with spiritual, emotional, and practical help through programs and direct service, as well as by steadfast advocacy for responsible social and economic change and expanded access to basic human services.

*NOTE: The people we serve are our “Neighbors,” not clients or patrons or patients. Fundamental to our approach is the ability to live in solidarity with--and make common cause with--the people we affirm as our true Neighbors.

Don't miss out on this opportunity!!!

One of Heartside Ministry’s very own artists, Samantha Currier, has stepped in to help us promote our monthly giving program, The Community. The Community is a passionate and dedicated group of monthly givers on a mission to prevent and end homelessness in West Michigan.



Samantha has graciously agreed to give an 8x10 print of her painting to the first 50 donors that either sign up to be a new monthly donor or increase their monthly donation by December 31! To top it off, a generous donor in The Community who cares greatly about helping to offset the impact of inflation has offered to match your first four gifts if you join TODAY at https://www.meltrotter.org/heartside-ministry/give

This means more lives being changed month after month. It’s simple, secure and sustainable, but most of all, it’s impactful!
