We are Spirit of Hope, a people living lives of hope and love in our city as followers of Jesus Christ.  Rooted in our Detroit neighborhood, Spirit of Hope is a Christian community re-named and re-established in 2006.  With vibrant Sunday worship, youth and food programs designed to serve our neighborhood, and an inspired community of people, we seek to hear God’s call for us in a city and neighborhood often neglected by the larger world.  Therefore, we empower each other and others to serve their communities in faith, hope and love.  We fully expect to be a continual source of hope and peace in our city of Detroit. 

As followers of Jesus of Nazareth, who made sure all people were openly welcomed at every table, Spirit of Hope is an intentionally anti-racist community.  We seek to empower people of all races, genders and gender expressions, sexual orientations, physical abilities, denominational or religious backgrounds, to serve one another as God has gifted us to do.  We believe all are called to experience the love of God and return that love in service to neighbor. 

Spirit of Hope is affiliated with the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan and the Southeast Michigan Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  However, members of our community are Lutheran, Episcopal, Baptist, Roman Catholic, Methodist, and more.  Some of our members say this is a good place to be if you are not always attracted to or have felt rejected by other churches, but want to be part of a strong faith community.  You are invited to give us a call, send us an email, comb through our web page, or just come on by and find out more!

Have you been searching or a fully inclusive faith community?  Have you ever felt rejected by a church because of who you are?  Then Spirit of Hope may be a place for you to explore.
