Exploring Congregational Growth at Sherman Street Christian Reformed Church

We all know the pandemic has changed how people work. In this episode of @Work in Grand Rapids we hear how one small business owner adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sloth, owner of app development company Sloth Werks, lost a restaurant industry client in the early days of the pandemic. Then he struggled with the transition to remote work from home. Thankfully he found a new community through Little Space Studio, first online and then in-person at their coworking space. Today Sloth advocates for the wide variety of coworking spaces and community events available for those who live and work in Grand Rapids.
