What is it?

Detroit Villages Community Gatherings are opportunities to gather our villages together for celebration, worship, and fellowship. These are also moments well-suited to bring together neighbors, those interested in intentional community, and houses interested in covenanting more intentionally.

What to Bring?

Bring a dish to share and a readiness to meet companions in the work of Christian missional living!
