Join us in Making a Difference

At ChristNet Services, our mission is to link unhoused men and women in Western Wayne County with available services and resources in a setting that can help them secure appropriate health services, more stable housing and job skill development that will facilitate employment. 

Founded in 1992, ChristNet convened in the City of Taylor in June and September of 1992   The driving force came from works at St. Paul United Church of Christ, St. Cyril of Jerusalem Catholic Church and West Mound United Methodist Church, all of Taylor.  

With the support of a handful of other Taylor churches the eight-week pilot program was organized for January-February of 1993.  Each participating church agreed to host the guest of ChristNet overnight for one week, from Sunday evening through the following Sunday morning. 

In subsequent years churches from Allen Park, Brownstown, Dearborn, Ecorse, Flat Rock, Rockwood, Southgate, Taylor, Trenton, Woodhaven, and Wyandotte have become affilated with ChristNet Services.  Post COVID we were able to reopen a pilot program for 5 weeks in 2023, 13 weeks in 2024, and 11 weeks in January of 2025.  We continue to reach out to churches in the Downriver Area to add more weeks to our Rotating Church Nighttime Shelter.
