Board of Directors & Staff

Who We Are

ChristNet Services is possible only because of the tireless efforts of our volunteers. They are the backbone of our ministry to the homeless population in the Downriver area. Our Board of Directors also give countless hours to the operation and administration of ChristNet Services. We have three full time staff members: an Executive Director, a Daytime Program manager, and a Case Manager. We also have a part-time weekend daytime program manager.
