Mother of the Savior
The primary service area for Mother of the Savior Church is Dearborn, Michigan, a suburb in Metropolitan Detroit.
The Detroit metropolitan area is home to the first or second-largest concentration of Arab Americans in the U.S.
Mother of the Savior is the only English and Arabic-speaking Christian congregation in the immediate area. The intentional mission field of Mother of the Savior is Arab Americans from all ethnicities and of all ages who are from Christian heritages or who are unchurched.
Mother of the Savior offers an opportunity for Christians to create a context of intercultural awareness, appreciation, and hospitality. The congregation itself brings together a diverse community of ethnic Arabs - including Iraqis, Jordanians, Lebanese, Palestinians, and Syrians – as well as interdenominational Christians with various Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant traditions. This community is sharing worship, social events, and formation opportunities with Christ Episcopal Church in Dearborn to begin to grow into deeper relationships across differences in culture and languages; Mother of the Savior is sharing the church building of Christ Episcopal Church Dearborn; and the two congregations intentionally developed a Partnership in Faith. This covenant is the means for regularly working together on building use and support, and whatever shared activities the congregations choose in Christian formation, community outreach, worship, and fellowship. Mother of the Savior further expects to extend intercultural and interfaith awareness and support to others through Arab American community, family, and fellowship events; community education; community outreach; and multicultural relationships and events.
