Much of what people wear is based on what service they attend. Venue tends to be a more relaxed enviroment while our Heritage Service is often are more business/casual. For all of our services modest dress is always appropriate. So, the bottom line – dress how you would like; we just want you to be there and enjoy your time with God and us.

Yes there is! We have an excellent Children's Ministry program provided for infants through 4th grade during each of our weekend services. Children will not only be closely cared for, but we also gear teaching and education for each age group that allows not just the parents, but the whole family to grow in their faith together. Because we care for children it is our goal to be very secure in protecting our children. So we have included a KidCheck security check-in system for our kids 4th grade and under.

There are many wonderful translations of the Word of God out there but as a church we consistently use the NIV in our services and classes. While you may hear other translations used (such as the ESV or The Message Paraphrase) they are typically used alongside the NIV to help give greater understanding to the meaning of the text.

If you’re attending a worship service and you would like to have someone pray with you, our Prayer and Care Team members will be standing near the stage following the service. They would love to pray with you. If you have an immediate need and would like to speak with a pastor, you can contact our office at 810-984-5571.

First of all, know that you don't have to become a member in order to attend or be actively involved at Colonial Woods. All are welcome here! To become a member of a church is to commit oneself to a specific, local body of believers and to partner with that church through serving, giving, and living. Members should agree with our church beliefs and be willing to submit to church leadership. Church membership is implied in the biblical requirement of all Christians to be submitted to a group of church leaders, elders, or pastors. The New Testament commands individuals to submit to a specific group of leaders: Hebrews 13:17 "Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account.” In order to become a member at Colonial Woods, you need to attend and complete Pastor Phil's CORE CLASS which is offered multiple times through the year. This class teaches all about what we believe as a church and what it means to follow Christ. For questions or to find out when the next class is offered, contact us.
