Good News Gang is a program for kids ages 4-12, where kids get together every Saturday (Spring Semester: March-June & Fall Semester: Sept-Dec) for 1.5 hours to learn about God, sing songs, and do fun activities. Metro Life Church in Detroit has been running this program since 1989. Pastor Matt along with a group of volunteers provide bus transportation for the 200-350 kids that attend on Saturdays. Pastor Matt Cripps has shared that 95% of the kids come from single parent homes, and majority come from dysfunctional families.
We help students of all ages with their homework and work to improve their knowledge of basic concepts. We encourage the students to stay in school and keep working hard. The drop-out rate in Detroit, where our students go to school, is very high and we want to help ensure their success by providing them with support to graduate school.
