Community of Christ - Michigan Mission Center We proclaim Jesus Christ and promote communities of joy, hope, love, and peace through a campus ministry center, five campgrounds, and nearly 80 congregations.

Learn more at www.cofchristmi.org Mission centers in the Community of Christ exist to guide and support congregations as they pursue the mission of Christ. The MichiganMission Center is comprised of a campus ministry center, campgrounds, and congregations located in Michigan Indiana

A collection of full-time, part-time, and volunteer ministers and staff members work throughout the mission center to guide and support congregations, facilitate church expansion, and provide a connection between World Church ministries and local congregations. Some of the key functions of the mission center staff and leaders include pastoral support of congregational leaders, leadership skill development, congregational consultant ministries, missionary ministries, church planting, congregational crisis support, financial resource development, specialized ministries, coordination of celebration events, technical assistance to congregations, and essential administrative duties. Delegates elected by congregations meet each year for a mission center conference to sustain mission center leaders, approve budgets for mission center ministries, and consider other policy proposals. Leaders elected and sustained at the conference serve on boards and committees throughout the year to manage properties and funds that are supported by congregations in the mission center.

Last weekend, we gathered in Independence and online for the Peace Forum, Seeds of Peace: Environmental Justice and Action. We were honored to present our International Peace Award to Bill McKibben. 🌱

Bill reflected on what he saw and felt while he was with us over on his Substack. He asked whether the peace movement and the climate movement might be the same. His answer: “The solar panel is the new peace symbol.”

When we care for creation, we also reduce the conditions that fuel conflict. Peace and justice for the earth are bound together, and that is the work we’re called to together. 🫂

Thank you, Bill, and thank you to everyone who joined us in person and online. Find the link to Bill's article below in the comments.

When Immigration and Customs Enforcement (also known as ICE) ramped up their presence in Minnesota, the Apple Valley congregation sprang into action delivering food to people who were afraid to leave their homes.

Their generosity spread through out the larger community and became a beacon of hope to folks who needed help.
