In Service to God
We do not exist for ourselves. God has given us the directive to care for, share with and serve the people all around us. We make an honest attempt to adopt this kind of a life-style. And, we have discovered that our effect is greater when we serve together. You are invited to get involved in one or more of the following efforts:

Every believer has been given abilities which can be used to serve God and people. We encourage you to work within your area of passion (interest) using your unique abilities and personality. A church truly becomes a home as you become involved in the work and ministries of the church. The degree of your involvement will depend upon your willingness and availability. We offer the “Network” classes which help you to explore and identify those areas where you might want to get involved in service. (All adults involved with ministries to children and youth will now need to complete the Child Safety application process as well.)

FEED MY LAMBS is a monthly effort to collect a variety of food and household products for families which need assistance. All collected items are delivered to and distributed by the local Salvation Army.

There are many great ways and places to serve in our community. You may contact us with questions or you can call these local organizations directly.

• Habitat for Humanity
• Rebuilding Together
• St. Leo’s Soup Kitchen
• Another Way Pregnancy Center

WOMEN WITH A MISSION is a very active group of women supporting local, as well as international missions and relief efforts. This group meets on the second Tuesday of each month at the church for study, planning and interaction.

The YOUTH PROGRAM offers a variety of service opportunities. Contact Jason Nelson for additional information.

INTERNATIONAL MISSION TRIPS are a great opportunity to see and experience God at work around the world. In the summer of 2005, the church sent members of our congregation on a mission trip to Honduras and in 2006, another group completed a mission trip to Costa Rica.

Our church family is committed to looking beyond ourselves. We have made the commitment to "pass on" a dollar amount equal to at least 10% of our annual giving. This supports:

• Donavan & Jocelyn Jocque, missionaries in Bosnia with the Pioneers
• Mediterranean Bible College in Lebanon
• Cedar Home Orphanage
• Christians Broadcasting Hope
• A variety of educational efforts in the U.S. and beyond
• World Hunger and disaster relief efforts
• A variety of local missions in the Metro-Detroit area including: Another Way Pregnancy Center; Arab American Friendship Center; Farmington Neighborhood House; Just Love Center; Rebuilding Together, Salvation Army Food Pantry; Samaritan Counseling Center.

All of this is an attempt to fulfill our purpose to serve.  We have discovered that some of life's most rewarding and fulfilling moments come in the midst of serving and giving. Come, join us in serving...
