Faith Building: Covenant Christian Center International’s Grand Opening

Mount Clemens, MI, August 16, 2013 --(PR.com)-- While many in society need to be reminded that a church is not a physical building, congregants of Covenant Christian Center International are grateful that their following now has a home. On Friday, September 6, 2013, the 125+ member family of Covenant Christian Center International will begin celebrating the grand opening of their church building with local area residents.

Led by their pastor, Dr. C.S. Oosterveen, the group has been gathering to worship at various locations throughout Michigan, more specifically Port Huron, Mount Clemens, Roseville, as well the Warren area. The new, permanent site is located at 91 Welts Street in Mount Clemens (the former Abraham Lincoln Elementary School building) and will serve as a valuable resource, offering counseling/mentoring services, a community garden, food and clothing pantry, youth ministry, as well as onsite free healthcare through McClaren Macomb on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Childcare will be offered during regular services. The church’s youth ministry will empower through mentorship, including gang resistance training.
