Who We Are

Overflow Church is a church of 400-500, multiethnic, multigenerational church in Southwest
Michigan that has experienced consistent growth coming out of COVID with regular attendance
of over 100 kids. During the pandemic Overflow experienced a year-long pastoral transition, and
weekly attendance averaged around 100 people. In that season, the church faithfully endured
leadership transition and uncertainty.

In 2021, Overflow Church hired Pastor Elijah Shamenda, and since that time the church has
experienced year-over-year growth, renewed clarity of mission, and increasing health across
attendance, leadership, and generosity.

Overflow is led by a committed Elder team, pastoral staff, and ministry leaders who believe we
are called to be more than a local congregation-we believe we are called to be a regional
church. Our vision is to plant five campuses over the next ten years, and we are actively
pursuing the launch of our first campus in Kalamazoo.

We are passionate about reaching the neighbor and the stranger, those both near and far from
God, and we are looking for a Kids Ministry leader who wants to be part of a big, faith-filled
vision that requires sacrifice, teamwork, and long-term commitment.
