About Greensky Hill

We share sacred space.

We remain a sanctuary of love in a setting of natural beauty.

We preserve a unique Native Heritage.

We invite people to experience community as siblings in Christ and empower people to serve all in need.

We worship together every Sunday at 10 a.m. (in person and online).

Our simple log church was built in the 1840's. Surrounded by trees marking the site of a long sacred meeting place, the church was constructed with large hewn logs notched at the corners and laid horizontally over a stone foundation. Much of the lumber used in the building was brought by canoe from Traverse City.  Today the church continues to be an active, racially mixed congregation, some of whom are descendants of original worshipers. Our three ministry priorities are: to be radically welcoming, to be an Anishinaabe cultural center as well as a living Christian church, and the Greening of Greensky Hill.

We care for creation, we care for our community, and we love sharing meals with our neighbors.

Through our partnership with Manna Food Project, we have Family Food Boxes available at no charge and with no strings attached. If you're interested in worship or other church activities, you are more than welcome; however, you should never feel obligated. We also care for our community with United Methodist Women and Men's Club meetings, Grandmother Moon ceremonies, Bible Studies, children's ministry, water protector events, and other activities.

Better yet, get to know us!

Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you'll feel welcome at Greensky Hill Indian United Methodist Church, where all are welcome and it's safe to ask the hard questions.

 The community is invited to celebrate Christmas Eve at 6 p.m., Sunday, December 24, 2023, including the traditional passing of the light with Advent candles while singing Silent Night.

As noted in our morning service, series creator, Worship Design Studio, writes: "The faith narrative is careful to show us a lineage from King David to Jesus. It is no ordinary lineage; it is one that began in the shepherding of sheep, of leading and delivering the people in search of a home. Mary’s womb becomes part of that lineage of love, offering the world the gift of God’s presence 'in the flesh.' As we enter the story of the birth of Love Among Us, we are invited to be present with love. We may think the perfect gift is outside our reach to give, but in reality we have all that we need… the heart’s love and presence."

Pastor Jonathan shared, "I am so incredibly thankful for my 10 1/2 years at Greensky Hill. I can't imagine a more gracious community or sacred place with such a rich history and promise. Our founding Native pastor, Peter Greensky, and ancestors would be so proud of what this congregation has accomplished in its 190-year ministry and Greensky Hill's ministry priorities of being radically welcoming to all people, the Greening of Greensky Hill with a Sacred Spaces Clean Energy grant and a Solar Faithful solar panel installation, and the creation of the Greensky Hill Anishinaabe Conservancy to preserve and protect the land forever. It's the perfect time for me to retire and Pastor Sarah, as an LTBB citizen with deep community connections, is the right leader at the right time."
