Spiritual life services
The mission
statement of the Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries explains
why we exist and what we accomplish when it states that we
are “committed to sharing the gospel of the love of Jesus
Christ, providing hope to the hopeless, disadvantaged,
abused and homeless, men, women and children of our
community. Spiritual Life services are at the heart of
everything we offer at Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries.
Participation in these services is voluntary but it is our
prayer that they are offered in such a heart of love and in
such a winning way as to bless those who are ready to take
part in them. These services are available to current and
past residents of our programs, neighborhood residents,
Ministries’ staff and Board Members. Included among those
services are:
-
Spiritual Assessment and Counseling of residents in
treatment, shelter and transitional housing programs.
-
Devotions and Chapel Services, offered on a daily
and weekly basis, for residents and staff. Because many
of our residents have done many things they deeply
regret, a key component of spiritual life counseling is
to emphasize God’s willingness to forgive, the elements
of seeking forgiveness from those one has wronged, and
God’s ability to “make all things new”.
- The
Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries’ Choir (a key
component of the substance abuse treatment aftercare
services for graduates as well as a support to current
clients). The DRMM Choir has performed at local churches
upon their request and can include testimonies from
Choir members. The Choir has also performed at numerous
public functions throughout the Detroit area and is
truly inspiring.
-
Bible Studies and spiritually-oriented Support
Groups offered to the community. Alcoholics for Christ
meetings are held weekly at the Oasis and Genesis House
III facilities.
-
Seasonal Programs are developed for and presented to
staff, residents, and board members. These include
Christmas, Easter, Martin Luther King Day, and Mothers
and Fathers Day.
-
Opportunities for Churches to become involved in
ministering to residents of Detroit Rescue Mission
Ministries. For example, churches lead chapel and
special programs within the Ministries and minister to
graduates of our programs when they re-enter the
community.
-
Leading Individuals to Christ for the first time and
leading those who have fallen away back to Him.
