When we are in the area my elementary age kids beg to come here. They enjoy the walking on the trails and walking under the cross. Even if you are not religious this is a nice (and free) spot to go.

My boyfriend and I visited this church while in Petoskey, and we both had a really lovely time. All…read moreSundays during July the church is meeting at Bayfront park behind the fire station! We were a little lost because at first we didn't see on the website it said behind the fire station, so maybe some signs for visiting guests would be ideal! Other than that, everyone was extremely welcoming, the worship was wonderful, and the message was very easy to understand and practical in using it for everyday life! I would recommend anyone check it out! Thank you so much!

A great church with a great (although conflicting) feel…read more The church is both young and traditional, contemporary and dated, large-feeling and inviting. For the seeker, you might find yourself a little out of your element. Long sermon messages (30-40 minutes with some random clip art on the screens) and some older songs are here, but newer ones, too. The music has electric drums and the mix is a little rough (worship leader never felt like they were upfront), but it's a church that seems to value authentic worship music - in-ear mixes and loops with ready to read lyrics. The lead guy was very good but looked like he could stand to delegate more - offering talk and guest reception was ran (mostly) by him. The feel of the church just feels like it's in a state of transition from an older lead church to a newer lead church, but the vibe is still a good one; we felt very welcome and comfortable in jeans and a T-shirt. If we're back in the area, we will likely return.

Beautiful historic mission near the water. We visited the location after walking down to the beach…read more I had no clue this mission even existed. I believe it's one of the first structures built in the city. It is restored to pristine condition and has been preserved well. Historical markers indicate the mission's history and impact on present-day Petoskey. A number of old graves are marked by crosses on the property. Apparently, they're keeping up the tradition of holding a Sunday mass here- at least it's what the sign says. It's a very beautiful location and a little bit Petoskey history. I suggest taking a quick trip over to to poke around the property if you're in the area or just heading to the beach.
