Ecumenical, Charismatic, Missionary, Christian Community

The Word of God is an ecumenical, charismatic, missionary Christian community — Christians from many different church backgrounds who have experienced new life in Jesus Christ and the empowering of his Holy Spirit. Now we are trying to support each other in our daily lives and to reach out to help others to come to know Christ and be filled with His Spirit.

A Little Background
The Word of God began in 1967 as an evangelistic outreach to students at the University of Michigan. Initially the group was made up of Catholics, but as the Holy Spirit began to work, people from all Christian backgrounds or no Christian background began to respond. Now Presbyterians, Lutherans, Baptists, as well as Catholics and others all join together to express the unity we share in Christ as members of The Word of God. This experience of unity flowing out of our renewed relationship with Christ continues to be a key element of our identity and our mission.

Since those early days, God has graciously worked through the community to bring hundreds of people into a vital relationship with His Son Jesus and to be filled with His Holy Spirit.
