Our Story

My name is Greg Molchan and this is my wife, Leah.  Together we represent the Grand Rapids Dream Center. Having been friends since middle school, it was over 18 years ago when we knew it was God’s plan for us to be married.  Today we have been blessed with a wonderful marriage and friendship, as well as three amazing children, Emmy, Noah, and Judah.  It has been our heart, desire, and intention to raise our family with a strong foundation built on the love of God in Jesus Christ.
We come from two different backgrounds I grew up in northern Indiana outside of Chicago and moved to Michigan when I was 11.  I had no church background and experienced some family separation;
seeing addictions, poverty, and brokenness. However my whole life changed when I gave my life to Christ when I was 19 years old.  From West Michigan, Leah experienced family hardship, at times seeing the devastation of drug and alcohol addiction resulting in family separation. It was after God radically intervened in her family that she began to grow up in a stable family, giving her heart to Christ as early as seven years old and experiencing a great church community going
forward.  Together, our heart passionately sees the desperation of many in our city who are disconnected from God, disconnected from His love, and a true sense of vision and purpose for their lives.  While we see and feel that, we also see there are many people today that don’t just want to hear only about God’s love, but people are desiring to feel it, see it, and experience it in an authentic way.  We are united and passionate to see people experience God’s love and the power of a changed life and destiny in Him.
Our heart for the Grand Rapids Dream Center is birthed from 15 years of full-time ministry experience doing missions, evangelism, and motivational events for communities and schools worldwide.
We have previously worked and served with The Conquerors International Strength Team, City Church, Prison Fellowship, and One Hope. We envision God’s plan for the Dream Center being accomplished by sharing His message of love through traditional and non-traditional methods of outreach, serving, equipping, and building people up.
