Serve in the Community

The call of Christian service is not only to the church, but, even more, to the world.  As members of the Grosse Pointe and metro-Detroit community, Christ Church members are involved in countless ministries across Detroit.  As a community, Christ Church also organizes several service projects and opportunities throughout the year with our various ministry partners.  For more information about our outreach ministries, or to suggest a new partnership or opportunity, please contact the Joseph Daniel, 313-885-4841 ext 107, or rectorsadmin@christchurchgp.org.

Carstens Literacy Initiative

Serving the Children of Carstens Academy

We’d love to introduce you to our friend Mia. In 2nd grade she was reading at 2nd grade level. After 5 months of one-on-one mentoring twice a week, she was reading at a 4th grade level. She gained 2 years in 5 months.

Literacy matters and we at Hope House Detroit know the difference mentoring makes in reading, self-confidence, and personal growth. Christ Church has been invited to share in reading at Carstens!

Christmas Gift Project

Join us in buying gifts for the children and youth of Carstens Academy. Please take wish lists from the Christmas tree in the Lobby. Wrapped gifts should be placed under the tree in the lobby by Noon on Christmas Day. Please use your ornament as the tag on the box.

Take Them a Meal

Friends and family taking meals to those in need.

Sometimes our friends and community members are going through a transitional time – perhaps they have pastoral needs, such as an illness (hospitalization or rehabilitation) or experienced a loss in the family, or maybe they have a new baby.  If you would like to help this family by assisting with meals for a period of time, please fill out the form below and we will contact you and the recipient to finalize the details.
