About Bear Lake Christian Church
Bear Lake Christian Church is an independent, non-denominational Christian congregation located in Kalkaska, Michigan, with a rich history dating back to 1950 when Pat and Catherine Feeman envisioned a sanctuary for worship in nature. Today, the church operates from its distinctive log chapel, affectionately known as the "come as you are" church, built in 1984 and situated adjacent to the Bear Lake community center. The congregation emphasizes connecting people to Jesus and to one another through blended worship that combines traditional hymns with contemporary praise, regular communion celebrations, and a strong commitment to community service, including initiatives like the Share Shack food pantry. Visitors are welcomed regardless of their spiritual background or church experience, with the church striving to create an inclusive environment characterized by grace, compassion, and authentic fellowship.
