Our Church’s History

Memorial Church of Christ began in a home in northwest Detroit on March 17, 1942. After conducting services in a store building, Burns School, American Legion Hall, and D.J. Healy School, property was purchased on Virgil in Detroit. Services were held in the new building in August, 1947. Continued growth led to the purchase of property on Fenton in July, 1956. Interim services were held in the Will Rogers School. First services in the church on Fenton were held February, 1960. In November, 1967, property was purchased on Five Mile Road in Livonia, Michigan.

Formal dedication services in the present house of worship were held on June 28, 1970.

New ground breaking began again in 1994.
