Starr Church is a church that seeks to look beyond ourselves, and to bear fruits for a world in need. Below is a list of our current outreach activities in the community and our partners worldwide. Contact the church office at office@starrchurch.org if you would like to help.
Warming Shelter
Starr Church, along with several churches in the Royal Oak and Berkley areas, host a rotating Warming Shelter for the homeless through the months of December through March. The churches involved open their doors (during their rotation) in the late evenings, offering a hot meal and a warm place to sleep. In the morning, the guests receive breakfast, a sack lunch, and a ride to work if needed.
Each winter, we host a Coffee House Concert to raise funds for the warming shelter. It’s a great event featuring a variety of local bands. Get together a group of your friends and come support us!
AA and Alanon meetings
There are three meetings hosted at Starr Church to help those seeking support:
Sundays: AA Meeting in the Park, from 1-4 p.m. at Memorial Park in Royal Oak (13 Mile and Woodward). Beginning in October, the group meets at Starr Church.
Tuesdays: Al-Anon meets at 9:30 a.m. To participate, a person must have a problem with a friend or loved one’s drinking. Before attending your first meeting, please call Laura at (248) 435-0968.
Thursdays: Primary Purpose Men’s Group AA Meeting meets at 7 p.m. This group is open to men who have the desire to quit drinking. Questions? Call Tom at (248) 219-9993.
