Phos Church

Phos Church A church located in the heart of Sterling Heights, Michigan. Our mission: Love God. Love the one. Make disciples.

PHOS CHURCH has undergone many different eras, dating all the way back to 1913. What began as a small neighborhood Sunday School group in the city of Detroit transformed through the blessing of God into an established organization. The church officially began in 1921 when it joined the Missionary Church Association under the name of Kerwin Missionary Church. Four years later, the congregation move

d buildings and was renamed Eastlawn Missionary Church. By the 60s, the church numbers were in decline due to many in the congregation migrating to the suburbs of Metro Detroit. In early 1970s, the current building was constructed in Sterling Heights. In May of 1999, 25 years after the first service, the name of the church was changed to Parkside Community Church. Throughout 2019 and 2020, the church appealed to the Missionary Church Association for a new, young pastor to come in and revitalize both the congregation and the surrounding area. PHOS CHURCH is the fresh revival of an institution with nearly 100 years of history. We hope to see the Lord work through us as we bring the Light to the world for the next 100 years.

Teaching Tuesday

This past week, a group of incredible women from our church had the opportunity to attend the “Turn Your Eyes: Seeing the Savior in the Psalms” conference hosted by The Gospel Coalition.

The Psalms remind us that every season of life: joy, grief, waiting, celebration, and suffering all points us to Jesus. They teach us to bring our whole hearts before God and to fix our eyes on our faithful Savior.

“I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.” — Psalm 16:8

We’re so thankful for opportunities like this conference that encourage us to grow deeper in God’s Word, strengthen friendships, and return with renewed hearts to serve and love others.

Big news! Beginning this Sunday, June 21st you can now join us online as we live stream our Sunday service at 10:30am

Watch live on our YouTube Channel or page

And as you can see our tech team is more than ready. In fact, we’ve officially recruited some of our youngest volunteers, and we’re pretty sure they’re running the whole operation at this point. 😄

We’re so grateful for every volunteer who has worked behind the scenes to make this possible.

While we’re excited to offer this new way to stay connected, we also want to be clear: our heart and strong encouragement is always for people to gather and worship in person whenever they are able.

Scripture reminds us in Hebrews 10:24-25 to “not give up meeting together… but encourage one another.” There is something powerful and irreplaceable about worshipping side by side, praying together, serving one another, and being part of the body of Christ in person.

Our livestream is simply another way to stay connected when you’re traveling, home sick, or unable to attend. But whenever possible, we hope you’ll join us in the room!

This week in our series, we looked at the parable of the Good Samaritan. There is a temptation to talk the language of love and miss the inconvenience of love. The lawyer knew his doctrine but Jesus was exposing the inconsistency of his practice. Ultimately Jesus was less concerned by giving a definition to the word neighbor and more interested in whether or not we live as a neighbor by being a messenger of mercy.

Beyond the Building Challenge

This week, take the Front Porch Challenge.

Spend 10 intentional minutes connecting with a neighbor you don’t know well. Step outside, start a conversation, learn their name, hear a little of their story, and ask how you can pray for them.

In today’s world it’s easy to stay disconnected, but Jesus calls us to love the people right around us.

Throwback Thursday

Last Sunday, Pastor Tyler walked us through Luke 10 and reminded us of a powerful truth: Jesus sends us, but He never asks us to prove ourselves.

The 72 disciples were sent ahead of Jesus not instead of Him. They carried the privilege of being part of His mission, but not the burden of producing the results. The harvest belonged to God. The power belonged to God. The victory belonged to God.

When the disciples returned celebrating that even demons obeyed them in Jesus’ name, Jesus redirected their hearts:

“Don’t rejoice because the spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven.”

What a reminder for us today. Our identity isn’t found in our accomplishments, ministry success, productivity, influence, or achievements. Success makes a terrible savior because it was never meant to carry the weight of our worth.

This Father’s Day at Phōs, we’re doing something a little different!!

Dads! We know life is busy!! Between your work, projects, family responsibilities, and everything else that fills your week, we know the demands can add up quickly. So this year, we want to bless the dads in a practical way.

Join us on Father’s Day and stop by our Dad Refresh Station, where every dad can grab a few useful items to take home. It’s our small way of saying thank you for all the ways you serve, lead, provide, and show up for your families.

Join us Sunday, June 21 at 10:30 AM.

Teaching Tuesday

This past Sunday, our church had the privilege of praying over and sending out as he begins a 10-day journey across Michigan to share the gospel. At just 18 years old, Landen has stepped forward in faith, answering God’s call to go and make disciples.

As we prayed over him, Pastor Tyler reflected on Jesus’ words in Luke 10, where He sent His followers out as “lambs among wolves.” At first glance, that sounds intimidating. Yet Jesus wasn’t sending them out in fear….He was sending them out with the power of the gospel.

The mission of the Church has never been to defeat wolves by becoming wolves ourselves. Instead, we go in the gentleness, humility, and love of Christ, trusting that God can do what only He can do: turn wolves into sheep.

As Landen travels and shares the good news, let’s continue to pray for boldness, open doors, and receptive hearts. And let’s remember that this mission isn’t only for those traveling across the state! it’s for all of us. Every day, God places people in our path who need to experience the transforming love of Jesus
