Come As You Are Ministries is a local non-profit founded on one simple belief: no matter your past, your pain, or your present circumstances, you are worthy of hope.

Because everyone deserves another chance.

Healing happens when people are seen, supported, and surrounded by community.

We exist to serve individuals navigating addiction, homelessness, poverty, mental health challenges, and life transitions. By combining practical resources with Christ-centered compassion, we strive to create pathways toward lasting transformation. We believe lasting transformation occurs when practical assistance is paired with emotional support, spiritual encouragement, and meaningful relationships.

Why Our Mission Matters

Across Michigan, thousands of individuals and families continue to face addiction, homelessness, poverty, and mental health challenges every day. These numbers represent real people: our neighbors, friends, and families. Behind every statistic is someone's son, someone's daughter, someone's parent. Our mission is to help people move beyond survival and toward lasting restoration.

Our Commitment

✔ Connecting individuals to addiction recovery resources.

✔ Supporting families facing hardship.

✔ Providing referrals to housing and behavioral health services.

✔ Building partnerships that strengthen communities.

✔ Walking alongside individuals on their journey toward restoration.

Michigan Statistics

  • Approximately 1.56 million Michiganders are living with a substance use disorder.

  • More than 21,000 people have died from overdose in Michigan since 2017.

  • Roughly 1 in 4 individuals leaving addiction treatment experience homelessness, increasing their risk of relapse and overdose.

  • More than 6,200 individuals experienced homelessness in Detroit's Continuum of Care in 2022. Detroit continues investing heavily in housing and homelessness initiatives because housing insecurity remains a significant challenge throughout the city.

  • Detroit remains one of America's most economically challenged cities. Nearly 1 in 3 Detroit residents lives below the poverty line. Many households struggle to afford housing, transportation, food, healthcare, and childcare.
