We have many leaders available throughout the district and synod to assist you in several areas. The Michigan district lists these people resources only as a recommendation and starting point for your specific church needs. Payment, if needed, for time and expertise while working with any of the worship and community consultants will be between the consultant and the church asking for assistance.
