Home Plate

HOME PLATE is an annual outreach event held at Comerica Park, where current and former members of the Detroit Tigers, along with other professional athletes, share about their careers as professional athletes and their faith in Jesus Christ. This family friendly pre-game event takes place on Saturday, May 10. The program begins promptly at 3:00 PM and attendees are invited to stay for the baseball game that begins at 6:10 PM (vs. the Texas Rangers).

A grant from St. John Foundation has provided 100 tickets to our church and school families for this event and game, free of charge. The free tickets will be offered on a first-come basis and limited to 6 per family.
