Come as you are! Church of the Straits is a federated church. We are a single congregation, but both Global Methodist and ECO Presbyterian. Church of the Straits is the only mainline Protestant church in Mackinaw City.
While we are one single congregation, we support and are supported by both The Global Methodist Church and the ECO Presbyterian Church. We are a body of people committed to Christian unity under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our congregation is made up of people from all different denominations. And because Mackinaw City is a diverse town, we're made up of people from all different backgrounds.
