Spirit of Christ Church began as God moved among students at Michigan State University. Our connection to the campus remains a very important part of our DNA. Today, that connection is fostered by welcoming students in our family and our support of the Furnace Prayer Movement and the Hope Prayer Room.You’ll find students involved in many aspects of our church life. It’s our joy and privilege to be a part of reaching and equipping the next generation of young leaders. If you’re a student at any of the nearby campuses — MSU, LCC, GLCC, Davenport, etc — we welcome you! UNITED IN DIVERSITY.
We realize that we are only one part of the great big family of God, and the Jesus, our Good Shepherd, is the leader of the Church, of which we are only one member. We seek to love, honor and serve the larger Body in our city and champion the cause of Christ wherever it is alive and active in our city! Many times you'll see us partnering with other churches and ministries, or organizing gatherings to bring diverse congregations together, because we LOVE God's people, and our combined witness shows the world that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life (see John 17:23)LED BY THE SPIRIT.
