The West Side of Grand Rapids is a place with a rich history, robust culture, raw grittiness, and beautiful people.  It is the place where we work, live, play and worship, and there is a lot to celebrate in our neighborhood.  At the same time, there are many people here that have endured a lot of hardship and neglect.  And it is in this space between beauty and brokenness that God has called Bridge Street Ministries to build a bridge between the streets and the church, bringing shalom to chaos. Ryan Waalkes is the Executive Director at Bridge Street Ministries and has been faithfully serving for the past 14 years.
