About Us

Motown Mission is a work mission and service trip destination in and around Detroit, MI for youth, college, and adult groups.

We invite participants into economic disaster recovery work (greening, feeding and rebuilding) alongside Detroiters as a response to God’s call to love our neighbor.

We welcome all persons to participate in our weeks of service regardless of religious affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity or other cultural/ethnic or economic location.

We invite all participants to reflect on their service through practices rooted in Wesleyan Theology, appreciative inquiry and diversity, equity and inclusion.

Motown Mission was founded in 2005 through the United Methodist Church and continues in the spirit of the UMC's commitment to grace, mission, and service as a means for individual and communal transformation.

“Watch over each other in love.”

— John Wesley
