Partnership in Faith
Christ Episcopal Church with  Mother of the Savior 

A partnership began in 2019 between Christ Church, an English speaking congregation of primarily European descent with roots in Dearborn beginning in 1866, and an Arabic speaking Christian congregation with roots in Dearborn beginning in the early 2000's, formed first as an ELCA church and now as a shared mission with the Episcopal Church. Mother of the Savior members come from Iraq, Egypt, Palestine, Old Jerusalem, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. As a partnership in faith these two congregations are sharing a building, learning and growing in faith together while maintaining the unique identity of each congregation. 

This video series: Partnership in Faith: Pastors Talk was created to provide conversations on topics relevant to faith and culture, considering the differences and similarities between the culture of faith in the USA and the culture of faith in the Middle East. We have covered topics like music, racism, Independence Day, and the customs around family pets.

Pastor Terri was invited to speak at the Community Forum at the Al-Huda Islamic Center. The forum was in response to February 12, 2022 attack on the center with an update from Mayor Hammoud and the FBI. It was also a show of solidarity from the interfaith community in Dearborn. 

 Worship in person or Zoom or live-streamed to Facebook Live. Facebook retains a recording of the service for later viewing. The video below is an example of our worship in the Easter season and was recorded from the 10am service on May 22, 2022.
