DETROIT NAVIGATORS

To Know Christ, Make Him Known, and Help Others Do The Same in Detroit.

The Navigators in Detroit aim to bring hope, healing, and justice to both the oppressed and the oppressors, while multiplying everyday disciplemakers who live transformed lives among the nations of metro Detroit, extending their impact to the ends of the earth.

Upcoming Events

Study the Scriptures with Us!

Beginning this month, we invite you to join us in a four-part Bible study exploring the essential ingredients of a Disciplemaking Community (DMC). A DMC is characterized by believers who intentionally live out their faith together, seeking transformation by the Spirit, sharing life in community, engaging missionally with those who are not believers, and multiplying spiritual generations.

Together we’ll look at the four key ingredients of a DMC:

  • Transformational – the Holy Spirit and Scripture changing the way we live

  • Communal – the “one another’s” of Scripture lived out in everyday life

  • Missional – engaging with not-yet-believers where we live, work, and play

  • Generational – multiplying disciples through intentional relationships

We encourage you to walk through this study with at least one other person, such as a friend, neighbor, fellow believer, or even a small group. Along the way, we’ll also host a weekly prayer time to ask God to continue to transform our communities to embody these scriptures.

We’ll conclude this journey with a celebration at our Christmas party, reflecting on how the Lord has been at work in and through us. Stay tuned for more details!

We hope you’ll join us as we open God’s Word, encourage one another, and pursue Jesus’ call to multiply everyday disciplemakers.

Join us at Our 2025 Detroit Navigators Christmas Party

Past Events with Detroit Navigators

Envision Detroit Together

On April 5th, over 50 of us came together to share our vision and invite others into the mission of multiplying everyday disciplemakers in Detroit. Rooted in a transformational, communal, missional, and generational approach, the gathering sparked meaningful connections and renewed inspiration.

Here are a few quotes that capture the experience:

Envision brought together friends who are each doing God’s work all over the city.  I surprisingly connected with a friend I hadn’t seen in years. We purposefully agreed to get together soon.  It was so great to reconnect. 

-Jacky 

 

I really enjoyed hearing the variety of stories of ministry taking place and the Kingdom of God breaking out in a number of contexts. 

-Bob 

 

During the Envision Detroit event, I truly enjoyed talking with new people I met from likehearted ministries, as well as reconnecting with some of those who were involved in our 20’s ministry a decade ago. The morning was planned well to allow us to interact at least briefly with several different people and learn more about their current disciplemaking in the city. 

-Sara 

 

The time broadened my vision of how God is at work, building a people belonging to Him in so many settings, through whom He is blessing the world!  What a privilege and joy to be part of what He is doing!” 

-Denny

For us, it was delightful to look around the full room & realize that upwards of half the people there were relatively new faces to us. God is growing the Work! Also, we made a couple of new connections that we trust will be mutually encouraging, going forward. 

-Tom
