detroitHands-On Mission Work Group of the Presbytery of Detroit looks forward to welcoming mission work groups during the summer or for an alternative-break week during the school year. With over 10 years of experience, it offers a wide variety of service opportunities and will enjoy working with your group before your arrival to customize your work sites to your skills and interest.

If you would like to work with children, Hands-On Mission Work Groups have Vacation Bible School sites, an Art Camp, a foster care ministry, children’s summer camps and children’s centers. If you have other interests, it can explore those options for you as well. Over a dozen churches within the Presbytery of Detroit open their doors and their hearts to house and extend hospitality to the groups. All have kitchens, some have showers or nearby shower sites, and most have a variety of other amenities as well. Check out the website at hands-on-mission.com.
