Families with children and teens at Embassy Metro Detroit. The Academy carries three age groups under one umbrella so children and youth grow up on a continuous formation pathway from earliest childhood into Kingdom adulthood.
Children are not the church of tomorrow — they are the Kingdom citizens of today, gifted and called by God.
The Gifted and Called Academy is Embassy’s umbrella ministry for our children and youth. Under it, three programs carry your family through the seasons:
- Kingdom Kids — for children 6 months through 10 years, at both Sunday gatherings. Led by Minister Adrielle Hardnett.
- The C.R.E.W. — for teens in grades 6 through 12. Led by Ministers J’vion & Breanna Armstrong.
- Men and Women N’ Making — for ages 12–17 forming Kingdom identity, calling, and manhood/womanhood. Led by Pastors Daniel & Alexis Alanis.
All three share one vision: real teaching, real worship, real prayer, and real community — formed for the season each age group is in.
The Academy has no single director — it is a managed collaboration of the three program leads.
How to connect: Kingdom Kids check-in opens before the 10am Sunday gathering — just come, no pre-registration required. The C.R.E.W. meets every 5th Sunday; speak with your Sheepfold Pastor or reach out to the Embassy office for the next date. Men and Women N’ Making is open seasonally — contact the office for the next open registration date.
