About
We built this because we needed it too.
Certain Hope was founded by Laura and Andy, Grand Rapids parents, who know firsthand what it feels like to raise a child with a disability and not know where to turn. We didn’t start with a grant or a nonprofit board. We started with a family, a need, and a community willing to show up.
"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands."
— Psalm 19:1
Mission
Our mission is simple: no family raising a child with a disability should face it alone. We create free, welcoming outdoor and community events where families can find each other — and keep coming back.
Our Faith
Our faith is part of who we are — it shapes how we show up for families and how we treat every person who walks through the door. But we believe belonging is for everyone, regardless of where you come from.
