Rising from the Ashes: Revival July 22, 2026
God is calling the Church of Detroit to renewal and revival.
This is not just a catch phrase; it is a commissioning from the Lord and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Rising from the Ashes is a Eucharistic centered experience of prayer, teaching and praise to God. We will learn from four wonderful speakers, raise our voices in praise with wonderful musical artists, encounter the full breath of the Church and witness to Christ in a Eucharistic procession.To learn more about the revival, to order tickets and to become a sponsor go to risingrevival.org.
