milestones
Our story starts at daybreak on a January morning in 1994. It was a small, faithful group of committed Christians who joined Apostle John C. Harvey, endeavoring to establish a church honoring God and dedicated to liberation and justice. Rev. Dr. Kenneth L. Johnson and his congregation at First Community Church of All People were the first to open their doors. As worship began, the group considered names for this newly formed faith community. The suggestion came from Bro. George Crawford - and it was, Serenity Christian Church.

1994: Worshiping with OthersList Item 1
Traveling worship began in January of 1994 as the community voyaged to Ann Arbor to worship with Amistad Community United Church of Christ. The late Rev. Herb Lowe held a special anointing ceremony. February’s journey led to Troy to worship with the Central Woodward Christian Church. The congregation, led by Rev. Daniel Kuhn, celebrated our new faith community. Our first public worship service took place on February 13, 1994, inside the United Temple Church of God in Christ. On that day, 23 people joined Serenity Christian Church.

1995: A Growing CongregationList Item 2
By the end of 1994, 55 people joined Serenity, housed in United Temple with Pastor David Evans and his congregation for a full year. As the congregation grew, the need for our own church home was pressing, and in February 1995, we moved into a facility at 5801 East 7 Mile Road. The building was dedicated in a special service that was held on May 7, 1995.
