Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
64 years
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Our worship style would be described as "traditional." It is not that we follow traditions, it is that we do not follow the vacillating trends that much of contemporary Christianity does.

Whitmore Lake is a residential community about 15 miles north of Ann Arbor, MI. Our buildings are located on Nine Mile Road 1 1/2 miles East of US-23, between East Shore Drive and Marshall Road. We are 2 miles from Whitmore Lake and 6 miles from South Lyon.
From North
Take US-23 South to exit #54. This is the exit for Pinckney, South Lyon, and the W.J. Maxey Boys Training School. At the stop sign, turn left (South) on the service drive. This is Whitmore Lake Road or Old US-23. Continue until the next stop sign, about 1/8th mile. There is a Mobil station on the South West corner and a McDonald’s on the South East corner. Turn left (East) here. This will be toward South Lyon. Continue on this road for about 1 1/2 miles. The road has several nasty curves. As soon as the road straightens, the church building is on the right hand (South) side.
From South
Take US-23 North (toward Flint) to exit #54A. This is the South Lyon exit. (You will pass three Whitmore Lake exits. Do not take them!) The exit will put you eastbound on Nine Mile road, heading toward South Lyon. Continue on Nine Mile Road for about 1 1/2 miles. The road has several nasty curves. As soon as the road straightens, the church building is on the right hand (South) side.
