Business Spotlight
The Old Wedding Barn, LLC
Mitch and Kelli VanOverloop own this charming Wedding destination right here in Ottawa County. We highly recommend this business because they defend the traditional, Biblical ideals of Marriage. In fact, they were a topic of the news when Wood TV 8 went after them for not being willing to rent their property to homosexual couples. They stood strong throughout a media onslaught of negative press and have remained steadfast in their courageous stance for Biblical principles in marriage. The problem is, since things live forever on the internet, the negative media attention hasn't helped their business. **If you know anyone who's looking to have a graduation party or get married in a wedding barn, pease recommend this beautiful venue in the heart of Hudsonville.
From the VanOverloop's Website
Our Marriage Policy
"Because God has ordained marriage and defined it as the covenant relationship between a man, a woman and Himself, the Old Wooden Barn will only recognize marriages between a biological man and a biological woman. Further, the staff of the Old Wooden Barn shall only participate in and host weddings between a man and a woman. We thank you for respecting our Christian family values!"

Not So Old
A Plea to the Churches of Ottawa County...
Last year, prior to the May Millage election, Move it Christian published this thoughtful piece by Kelsea Studebaker, one of our precinct delegates. This news doesn't seem so old given that the Biblical truths she put forward in her plea last year, still apply to Bond and Millage elections this year. *If you know an Ottawa County Pastor, please share this article with them.
