Send Detroit Partnership
The city of Detroit is rich with history, diversity, and potential. Yet, like many urban centers, it faces challenges that only the Gospel can truly address. We are actively partnering with local leaders and church planters with an aim to help reach the city with the love of Jesus.
You can be a part of this exciting work. Together, we can see lives transformed and communities restored through the Gospel! Join us in reaching Detroit for Christ. Explore opportunities to get involved, support church planting, and learn more about the vision for this city by clicking here.
