AuSable Inclusion Center, Diocese of the Great Lakes

“The AuSable Inclusion Center is an evangelism outpost in the woods of rural northern lower Michigan. We serve folks who are marginalized based on gender, sexuality, and/or socioeconomic status. Over the last year we’ve transformed a closed church into a bright, welcoming space for community to gather, and have begun gathering folks! We’re excited to see how the Holy Spirit is moving among us!” – The Rev. Beckett Leclaire
