The God’s Country Community Ministries is in the eastern part of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It covers a 2500 square mile area from Engadine near Lake Michigan, up to Paradise at Whitefish Bay, to Grand Marais on Lake Superior’s south shore and encompasses McMillan, Germfask, Newberry, and Hulbert.

Although it is located in some of the most beautiful country you could ever hope to see, the isolation, extremely harsh long winters, and scarcity of jobs bring real challenges to these communities. Unlike our more densely populated areas where you might find assistance more easily there is not a lot of resources to go to for help.

Yet these seven communities who started our mission through God's Country Cooperative Parish combined their resources, shared their faith, and, through their active presence, worked to bring self-esteem, hope, and faith to all God’s children throughout their vast parish. The mission has now expanded and grown as we have partnered with all denominations and become God's Country Community Ministries.
