Below is an excerpt from Van Dyke's official web site at www.vandyke.org (please visit that site for full details on the church's mission, beliefs, history and schedule of services):

"During the fifteen year history of our church, Van Dyke United Methodist Church has always been known as a place of energy, vitality and warm love. Hundreds of people have found Jesus Christ through the ministries of Van Dyke and many have grown as disciples in service and leadership in church and community. There has always been something refreshingly different about Van Dyke, and we celebrate the unique way God is enabling us to reach significant numbers of people with the gospel. We eagerly anticipate God's future."
