More than a gathering. A nation.
Embassy is a covenant people formed by the Word, shaped through worship, prayer, discipleship, and shared life, and commissioned to represent the Kingdom in the earth. Because of who we are, we refuse consumer Christianity, spectator faith, and biblical illiteracy.
For more than two decades, Embassy has served as a local church anchored in Metro Detroit and an apostolic house extended through campuses and hubs. Through discipleship, leadership development, community service, and economic development initiatives, we equip people to live out their Kingdom assignment with faithfulness and wisdom.
To empower believers to establish God's kingdom in the earth.
We are a multi-ethnic, relevant, united community of true worshippers filled with the character and the power of the Spirit of God.
