The community published a magazine called New Covenant to teach and guide the charismatic movement and to coordinate its national activities.
The members of the community, in many cases, lived in common together in houses. There were houses for married couples and houses for single men or women. They also had dorm households at the University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University. The different households began to be split up into different “districts.”
The men began having Prayer meetings in their apartment around the University of Michigan’s main campus with four people. The meetings began to grow and soon there was a sizable group coming to every meeting. They moved to Saint Mary's in Ann Arbor to accommodate the growing numbers. By 1973 the numbers had grown to 1000. They started to organize the gathering into groups of people to meet together. As meetings grew so did their venues. Soon there were many meetings throughout the week. Membership had grown to 3000 by 1976.
The Word of God is an ecumenical, charismatic, missionary Christian community that started in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It is composed of Christians from many different church backgrounds. The Word of God began in 1967 as an evangelistic outreach to students at The University of Michigan. Initially the group was made up of Catholics, but eventually expanded to include people from all Christian backgrounds or no Christian background. Now Presbyterians, Lutherans, Baptists, Catholics and others all join together to express the unity they share in Christ as members of The Word of God.
The Word of God was founded in 1967 by four men, Ralph Martin and Steve Clark (formerly involved in the Cursillo Movement office in Lansing, Michigan) and Jim Cavnar and Gerry Rauch who were involved in renewal work at the University of Notre Dame. They were young Catholics who came to Ann Arbor, Michigan after being asked to leave the ministry in Lansing they were involved in after they became charismatic. They were inspired by the recent encounter they had had with the Charismatic movement. It was sparked by the “Duquesne weekend” an event that is considered to be the Pentecost of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal.
