Almost Home: Woodward & Seven Mile
After years of faithful service to our community, Perfecting Church stands at the threshold of something extraordinary. This is our second year of Day of Giving Plus 1, and this time we're not just raising funds—we're counting down to the day we finally walk through the doors of our new home at Woodward and Seven Mile. That campus is more than a building. It's a beacon of hope, a center for worship, and a hub for community transformation in the heart of Detroit.
We're so close to the finish line, and this is the year we cross it together. The foundation is strong, the walls are rising, and now the critical final phases—sanctuary seating, community spaces, sound systems, safety features—call for our united support to bring us home.
Every dollar brings us nearer to the moment those doors swing open and welcome families for generations. This isn't just about completing construction; it's about completing our calling to serve, inspire, and uplift our neighborhood—and about the joy of gathering, at last, inside the edifice we believed into being.
Your investment today creates a lasting legacy. Whether you give $25 or $2,500, you're not just funding a building—you're empowering ministries, strengthening families, and investing in Detroit's renewal.
Join us in finishing what we started. Together, we'll turn this vision into a vibrant reality where faith meets community action—and together, we'll step into it.
"Help us build more than walls—help us build hope."

What Is The Day of Giving Plus 1?
The Day of Giving Plus 1 campaign is your invitation to double your impact as we count down to the grand opening of our new Woodward & Seven Mile campus. Each member commits to giving $1,000 of their own while raising an additional $1,000 from family, friends, and supporters. That's a total impact of $2,000—$1,000 from your heart plus $1,000 from your network—driving us across the finish line to our new home. If you believe in our mission enough to invest $1,000 yourself, you'll help raise another $1,000 by sharing that passion with others who care about Detroit's transformation. And together on October 18, we'll celebrate more than the funds raised—we'll celebrate the growing community of supporters standing with Perfecting Church as we prepare to walk through the doors at last, building more than walls, building hope.
