Nizhoni is an intentional Christian community of up to six people located on the northeast side of Grand Rapids, about 10 minutes from downtown. Owned by Creston CRC and formerly associated with Calvin University, the goal of the house is to create a strong internal community that then also invests in the Creston neighborhood and greater Grand Rapids area.

Sharing Life

We build a home together by investing time and delighting in the variety of our own unique lives.

Growing in Christ

​Out of a shared desire to know God, we attend Creston CRC monthly and study the Bible together weekly.

Getting Involved

Nizhoni residents are required to involve themselves in the Creston neighborhood. There are opportunities to volunteer at several neighborhood non-profits: from farms to tax assistance to neighborhood association.

Further Details

Nizhoni residents agree to a one year lease, they are responsible for having renter’s insurance for the duration of their stay, and they put down a security deposit when they enter the house. The Nizhoni house goes for retreat twice a year, once in September and once in March. Additional requirements and expectations will be discussed in the interview.
