God is at work
St. Clair Outpost
This outpost was started with prayer walking during September of 2019 at Claire Wood apartments. Food drives and great blessings from God ensued. The Lord led the workers to multiple other nearby apartment communities. What started as a couple people prayer walking has turned into two teams of people ministering to multiple places within St. Clair. To learn more or get involved with this outpost, contact Dave Schweihofer at (810) 643-3536.
Algonac Outpost
The outpost started with two women meeting on a monthly basis to pray for the Algonac areas in 2018. A third person joined them in April 2019 as they started prayer walking in different neighborhoods to discern God’s direction in the harvest field. September 2019 brought their first pop-up pantry at two apartment complexes. Now there are eight regular workers and 6 to 8 others join them from time to time.

Lapeer/Beaverton Outpost
This outpost started on May 12, 2020 when the church was notified their June 2020 trip to the Dominican Republic to build a house was cancelled. This same group of people got together praying for God to provide another opportunity to serve on a mission. The dam broke in Middleton, Michigan. On May 19th, the same praying group of people went and helped in Beaverton. On the ride home is where they realized there was a lot of work to be done. So for 26 weeks they lived on mission, coming alongside these people. “God had made a clear change on where they were to go.” They cared for these people as they worked sided by side. They shared life together; testimonies and God’s words. To learn more or get involved with this outpost, contact Justin Grochowski at (616) 466.9301.
Walled Lake Outpost
Established in 2023 - Walled Lake Community Church has been called into being by God and exists for His glory. Our church is composed of forgiven individuals who, through Christ, have become the people of the triune God. The Creator God is our Father, Jesus Christ is our Lord and Head of the Church, and the Holy Spirit is our life and power.

Richmond Outpost
This outpost was started on a hot summer day in 2020 when Tommy gave cookies to Crossroads volunteers who were ministering to the surrounding community by passing out food. November came and the group of three to six regular volunteers put on a Thanksgiving dinner for the community. Shortly after, they started meeting weekly for Bible study, fellowship, prayer, and discipleship at Tommy's house. Now, they meet every Sunday at the Saben's home for their church service and they are their own incorporated church: the Community Church of Richmond. To learn more or get involved with this outpost, contact Steven Sabens at (907) 978-1134.
Marine City Outpost
This outpost was started when one woman was on a mission trip to Guatemala, and through prayer, God revealed to her that she could do mission in her own backyard. She reached out to the local Shangri-La trailer park in Marine City, gathering volunteers to pass out food and form discipling relationships. Soon, they had their own weekly Bible study, and God has gradually developed them into a church that meets every other week for service in the Shangri-La Clubhouse.
