Our focus includes empowering young people through mentorship and educational initiatives like after school programs, performing arts and leadership training, equipping them for successful futures.
Additionally, we provide tailored support to elderly individuals, veterans, and single-parent households, addressing their unique needs and ensuring they receive the necessary support to navigate daily life challenges and maintain their well-being amidst transitions and economic challenges.
Single Parent Household Support
At Rhema Impact, our Single Parent Household Support program is based on the principles of kindness and solidarity, echoing what God wants for every family. As we attempt to reduce burdens and give avenues to stability through practical aid like financial workshops and childcare support, we are mirroring God's promise of provision and guidance in times of need. Our focus on mentoring, counseling, and emotional support is a reflection of God's desire for families going through difficult times to find fellowship and healing. By providing skill-building seminars and guidance to empower single parents, we respond to God's call to stewardship and resilience, bringing hope to our neighborhood and demonstrating God's love in action.
Health fairs and Initiatives
Rhema Impact's Health Fairs and Initiatives, which cater to the physical, emotional, and spiritual health needs of our community, are an actual example of our dedication to holistic well-being. We organize health fairs that provide essential screenings, health education workshops, and access to healthcare services for individuals and families in need. We do this through partnering together with healthcare experts, community organizations, and volunteers. We place a strong emphasis on mental wellbeing, preventive treatment, and healthy lifestyle choices because we think it's important to treat our bodies with respect as God's temples. In addition, we work to create a culture of wellness and self-care by supporting fitness regimens, mental health awareness campaigns, and healthy eating practices. By offering these tools and services, we show the love of God by taking concrete steps that encourage healing and prosperous lives within our community.
Senior Citizens Outreach Programming
Our Senior Citizens Outreach Programs at Rhema Impact reflect the honor, compassion, and support qualities found in biblical teachings, and they demonstrate our profound respect and concern for the elderly citizens of our community. We strive to improve elderly adults' quality of life and make sure they get the care and attention they need through a variety of programs and activities. Regular social events, wellness lectures, and educational sessions catered to their needs and interests are all part of our program offerings. To ease any difficulties they might encounter on a daily basis, we also provide help with a variety of chores and errands, like purchasing groceries, making it to doctor's appointments, and home servicing. We value our senior members' capabilities and wisdom by creating a sense of community, connection, and purpose among them. We also demonstrate God's love through real acts of kindness and service.
Community Food Pantry
Rhema Impact, in partnership with Lighthouse Food Pantry and Gleaners Food Bank, operates a Community Food Pantry to combat hunger in our neighborhood. We provide supplemental food, essential items, and educational resources to low-income individuals and families. Our dedicated volunteer team distributes food on designated days and offers emergency assistance when needed.
Annual Back to School Rally
Rhema Impact's Annual Back to School Rally helps students prepare for a successful school year. This exciting event offers children a day of fun with games, food, and activities. Additionally, the rally provides parents with health screenings, valuable information from speakers, school supply giveaways, and a supportive back-to-school prayer for their students.

This program is designed to support new and expectant mothers by providing them with tangible resources and valuable knowledge. Hosted by Rhema Church and local sponsors, the event offers essential baby items, parenting workshops on vital topics, and free smoke detectors from the Detroit Medical Center. This comprehensive approach empowers families to create safe and nurturing environments for their babies.

Partnering with the Wayne County Department of Human Services, Lutheran Social Services, and Wolverine Adoption Services, we strive to find both temporary and permanent homes for displaced children.
College Connection Program
Our College Connection program is designed to keep the young people attending college closely connected. We recognize the difficulties that college life can bring, particularly for young adults juggling their faith with their academic responsibilities. In order to help these students deal with the challenges of college life, recent graduates offer their services as mentors. By providing a sense of continuity and support as students enter early adulthood, our mentors are dedicated to making sure that students remain on a path to productivity and success, both academically and spiritually.
Youth Initiatives
Our diverse youth initiatives program intends to empower young people in our community. By offering a variety of ways, such as mentorship programs that match young people with mentors for guidance and skill development, we put an emphasis on their holistic development. Our recreational and athletic activities foster discipline and leadership qualities while advancing physical well-being, cooperation, and sportsmanship. In order to promote academic achievement and personal development, our after-school enrichment programs also provide tutoring, homework help, and enrichment activities. Through the integration of academic support, athletic engagement, and mentorship, our goal is to develop well-rounded individuals who possess the resilience, confidence, and skills necessary to excel in their professional lives, in the classroom, and in life—thus paving the way for a better future for our community.
Mentorship Program
For youth and young adults from single-parent homes in Metro Detroit, our mentorship program offers individualized assistance and direction through skill development seminars, regular one-on-one sessions, and expertly matched mentoring partnerships. Mentors provide invaluable guidance and insights in areas including job exploration, financial literacy, communication, and leadership. They are chosen from a pool of seasoned professionals and community members. Through enabling our 16–25-year-old beneficiaries to overcome obstacles, make objectives, and acquire critical life skills, our program not only promotes personal development and fulfillment but also creates a stronger and more resilient community where people from single-parent households can flourish and reach their full potential.
Early Learning and After-School Program
Our Early Learning and After-School Program is a comprehensive program designed to support children from less fortunate areas in their holistic development, nurture their developing minds, and give them the necessary educational support. In order to build a solid foundation for academic success and social-emotional development, we place a high priority on early learning enrichment by providing age-appropriate activities, cognitive exercises, and socialization opportunities. Furthermore, in order to complement classroom learning and enhance overall educational achievements, our after-school tutoring programs guarantee that children receive individualized homework assistance, tutoring sessions, and academic support. Workshops for education in the arts, music, STEM, literacy, and other areas further develop students' abilities, stimulate their creativity, and promote critical thinking. Through events, workshops, and resources, we actively involve parents in their children's educational journey. In order to prepare students for success in the future, educational excursions, guest lecturers, and online educational resources offer chances for experiential learning and the development of technical skills. Additionally, mentorship programs link students with community members who serve as positive role models, encouraging and advising them both personally and academically. By combining these coordinated efforts, we hope to establish a supportive and empowered learning environment that gives children the skills, information, and self-assurance they need to succeed in school and in life.
Leadership Training and Development
In keeping with Christ's teachings on servant leadership, our Leadership Training and Development curriculum emphasizes integrity, service, and vision while skillfully infusing faith-inspired ideals with real-world leadership abilities. In order to have a good impact on communities, participants learn how to lead with compassion and purpose, going beyond individual achievement. They exemplify empowerment and selflessness by participating in neighborhood health fairs, leading educational programs, and mentoring young individuals. Our Leadership program fosters continuous development and resilience by preparing participants to lead with faith, flexibility, and lifetime learning.
Performing Arts
Rhema Impact's Performing Arts program exemplifies the fundamental principles of empowerment, community, and faith. In line with our goal to have a positive influence, participants in music, dance, and theater not only display their skills but also encourage and uplift others with evocative themes of love, hope, and resilience. The program gives individuals a platform for personal growth, encouraging self-expression, teamwork, and confidence. Our program aspires to produce lasting memories that not only entertain but also inspire positive change and transformation in the lives of participants and viewers by integrating creative talent with faith-inspired principles.
2 on 2 Community Basketball Tournaments
More than just athletic endeavors, Rhema Impact's 2 on 2 Community Basketball Tournaments serve as forums for promoting community involvement, teamwork, and unity. In addition to showcasing their athletic prowess, participants in friendly competition on the basketball court create deep bonds with members of the community. These competitions foster a sense of togetherness and healthy competitiveness among participants of all ages and backgrounds, much as our other activities place an emphasis on cooperation and support from one another.
