About the Michigan District
We are the Michigan District of the United Pentecostal Church, International. We exist to support and equip our ministers and churches in sharing the whole Gospel to the whole world, beginning right here in Michigan. We serve over 240 ministers among more than 110 churches through training, fellowship, missions, and inspiration.
Breathtaking landscapes, Big cities, starry skies, family fun, outdoor adventures and places to shop, eat and stay local—everyone can experience it all in Pure Michigan. But our greatest natural resource is our rich heritage of Apostolic ministry, and our passion for the Great Commission and the Great Commandments.
We’re glad you’re here. Let’s change the world together.
