Serve With Us

Jesus himself came not to be served, but to serve, and calls his followers to embody his life of service.

After Jesus was raised from the dead, he delivered a very important message to his young church: “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Notice, the mission begins with a healthy church, right where they are, in Jerusalem. From there, their gospel ministry has an ever expanding ripple effect, to the wider region, and to the end of the earth.

Serve Our Church

For us, at Red Tree, our mission begins by recognizing the need for our own church to be healthy. Then, from the foundation of a healthy Red Tree, the ripple effect expands to serve the city of Ann Arbor, the University of Michigan, the broader Detroit region, and on and on to the end of the Earth.

Serve Our Campus

Red Tree is intentionally "campus-facing" and seeks to be a source of life for the University of Michigan. Our desire is to serve UM by equipping students (undergraduate and graduate), faculty, and staff to experience the deep love and deep change that comes from putting down deep roots in the gospel.

Serve Our City

In the Gospel, God’s mercy and justice meet. When the Gospel takes root in our lives, we cannot help but produce the fruit of divine justice and divine mercy. That is why Red Tree actively pursues mercy and justice in Ann Arbor, the University of Michigan, and around the world.

Second Saturday Service Projects

Each month, we gather a small group to support a local community service through practical service. Second Saturday projects include landscaping, donation sorting, cleaning, food preparation, and simple construction.

Third Saturday Lunch Club

Did you know that most hospitals will not provide chemotherapy to cancer patients if they are unhoused? That is why the Shelter Association of Washtenaw County provides medical recuperation housing. Our team of dedicated volunteers prepare and serve a healthy lunch once per month for recuperating clients.

Safe Families for Children

Many parents lack extended friendship or family support. Our church steps up to fill those gaps with Safe Families for Children. Sometimes this looks like providing childcare for a single mother, other times it’s meeting one-on-one with an overwhelmed dad. We also host winter gear drives and other one-time projects for Safe Families.

Monthly Prayer Focus

Throughout the Bible, widows and orphans, sojourners, and neighbors represent opportunities for justice and mercy. Widows and orphans are those without provision and protection. Sojourners are those living in unfamiliar places. A neighbor is someone in our community with need. Each month we pray for one of these groups as a congregation and as individuals.

Serve Our State

Serve our church planting movement throughout Southeast Michigan

In 2012, Ryan McVicar, the Senior Pastor at Red Tree Presbyterian Church, founded a church planting movement called The Detroit Project. Our initial vision was to plant ten churches by the year 2030. Pastor McVicar planted the first church of the Detroit Project in 2012 (New City Presbyterian Church). Upon serving as New City’s founding pastor for ten years, God called the McVicar family to move to Ann Arbor to plant the sixth Detroit Project church (Red Tree Presbyterian Church). God has brought more fruit than we ever could have imagined. The current Director of the Detroit Project, Dan Millward, has enlarged the scope of our modest initial vision for ten church plants.

Serve Our World

Serve our church planting partners around the globe.

Every church has a unique fabric and context that shapes their particular missional focus. Red Tree has developed into an international community, with a significant number of people who have Hispanic roots. This has led to global partnerships with a focus on church planting in Latin American countries.
From mission trips to serve with our partners, to special events in Ann Arbor with our mission partners visiting with us, to financial support and beyond, our desire is to build robust international partnerships, particularly with church planters, to further the spread of the gospel to the end of the world.
We invite you to serve with us and to support our partners.
