Who is Jesus?
Visit any part of the world today. Talk to people of any religion. No matter how committed they are to their particular religion, if they know anything about history, they will have to admit that there has never been a man like Jesus of Nazareth. He is the most unique personality of all time.
Jesus changed the direction of history. Even the date on your morning newspaper testifies to the fact that Jesus of Nazareth lived on earth nearly 2,000 years ago. B.C. means "before Christ"; A.D. Anno Domini, "the year of our Lord".
To find out more about Who is Jesus?, we invite you to go on an interactive web journey that will answer many of your questions.
If you have further questions or would like to give us your feedback about Who is Jesus?, you can:
• Call one of our pastors at 248-348-9030 (one of our pastors will be in the church office Monday-Friday, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm),

What kind of church is this?
We are affiliated with the Assemblies of God, a Bible-believing fellowship of Pentecostal churches.
People! That's the story of the Assemblies of God. Over 30 million people worship every week in Assemblies of God churches around the world. Young and old, married and single, parents and children, people from all walks of life, of every color and many different languages-they have one thing in common, a desire to serve God and share His blessings with still other people. The Assemblies of God is people who believe in the God of the Bible, and believe He is moving in today's world.
Currently the Assemblies of God USA and Assemblies of God organizations around the world make up the world's largest Pentecostal denomination with some 32 million members and adherents. But numbers fail to tell the real story, and statistics can never meet human needs. People who need help in coming to know God, have problems in their home, or are troubled by any of a multitude of other things that keep people from being happy and fulfilled, need someone who cares.
And that's the message of our Fellowship. Because Jesus cares for people, the Assemblies of God is people who care about each other.
The Assemblies of God is a member of four national and international Christian organizations. These include the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), the Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches of North America (PCCNA), the Pentecostal World Conference (PWC), and the World Assemblies of God Fellowship (WAGF). The church's leadership also participates in many sub-groups of these organizations.
The Assemblies of God is not affiliated with either the World Council of Churches or the National Council of Churches.

What is your purpose statement?
As a people called by God, our purpose is to:
GLORIFY God and rejoice in Him
(1 Chron. 16:10, 28, 29; 2 Thess. 1:11, 12; 1 Peter 2:9),
GROW more Christlike in character and service
(Col. 2:7; John 13:34, 35; Eph. 4:11-16; Acts 2:42-47), and
GO into the world, proclaiming the gospel and making disciples of Jesus Christ
(Mark 16:15; Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 1:8).
We will accomplish this by equipping God’s people for works of service, demonstrating His grace in the power of the Holy Spirit – as individuals, families and in cooperation with others of like faith.

What are your core values?
Because we are an assembly of individuals with diverse backgrounds, each of us has slightly different values that influence how we go about joining in the mission of Jesus Christ. However, if we are going to have an effective ministry as a unified church, we must identify and share certain common values. These values serve as the framework for developing and implementing ministries within our church. They should also support us beyond our church environment into our public lives.
Communication of God's Word
The anointed communication of biblical truths is the catalyst for personal salvation and growth in Christ.
When spirit-led people teach the Word of God, the Holy Spirit directs us to repent of sin, to receive forgiveness and newness of life, to live a holy and obedient life, and to minister to others. (Psalm 119:9, 11, Isaiah 55:11, Hebrews 4:12, 2 Timothy 3:14-17, James 1:22-25)
Pentecostal Legacy
The work of the Holy Spirit, as experienced and modeled by the early church, is a cherished part of our church and individual lives.
This work includes Spirit baptism, spiritual gifts and in-fillings, and should be earnestly sought by all believers as a normal part of healthy church life. (Acts 1:8; 2:4, 1 Corinthians 14:1)
Service
The serving of others is the natural result of being a steward of God's gifts, abilities and resources in our lives.
Faithful service is a vital aspect of healthy spiritual life which produces lasting spiritual fruit, resulting in personal fulfillment and eternal benefit. (Matthew 25:21, 1 Corinthians 3:12-13; 12, 14; Romans 12:6-8)
Servant Leadership
Leaders are servants who continually develop co-laborers (including workers and potential leaders) by equipping, empowering and supporting them in their area of giftedness.
These leaders model Christ-like character, competence and commitment. (Exodus 3:1-8, Mark 10:45, Acts 6:2-5, Romans 12:8, Ephesians 4:11-13)
People-Relevant Ministry
Our ministries strive to meet people at their individual level of need and understanding, being culturally relevant while remaining scripturally sound.
This compels us to be sensitive to all the ways we relate to our community (e.g., programs, facilities, communications and use of the arts). (1 Corinthians 9:19-23)
Relationship Center Ministry
People grow spiritually and needs are met most effectively through trusted relationships with other believers.
Experiences beyond corporate worship are essential in the building of trusted relationships. Participation in care communities, ministry teams and small groups foster mutual encouragement, personal mentoring, accountability, and discovery of spiritual gifts. (John 13:34-35, 1 Corinthians 13, Philippians 1:6, Hebrews 10:24-25, 1 John 1:7)
Evangelism and Missions
By faith, we demonstrate the grace of God, joining Christ in his mission to reconcile people to God.
This begins with our peers and communities, and extends to the farthest corners of the earth. We will go, send and provide resources to win our world for Christ. (Matthew 25:40; 28:19, Acts 1:8)
