Woodside Detroit

Woodside Detroit is a bible based Christian church. The congregation is young — predominately Wayne State students and the 20-​something young professionals who live in the lofts downtown. For a girl who grew up in traditional Catholic church, it took me a while to get used to the casual dress (even the pastor wears jeans), and contemporary praise band music, and relaxed feel of the services. But, I like it. It’s welcoming, relatable, and authentic.
Services meet in the auditorium of Detroit School of Arts — which may be my only gripe. While large and spacious, it just doesn’t feel «churchy» to me (although this may be a pro to others, lol). Hopefully they will acquire a space of their own to meet in soon.
Throughout the week there are small neighborhood groups that meet for further opportunity to socialize and discuss that week’s message. There are various ministries you can join, that assure everyone has an outlet for their gifts and talents. I hope to see Woodside continue to grow and find new ways to serve the Detroit community!

Woodside Detroit in Midtown Detroit is the 9^th campus of Woodside Bible Church located in Troy, MI. Pastor Tim Holdridge is a dynamic speaker with a down to earth personality. The congregation is primarily made up of twenty-​somethings and young professionals. A young church, it is just now beginning to reflect its community. The people are friendly and loving. You will feel welcomed.
