COPPER COUNTRY ANGEL MISSION AT A GLANCE

"Copper Country Angel Mission knows that our strength lies not only in words, but more importantly through our actions. More than 20 years ago, Rebecca Koivu, lay-pastor of the Community Church in Calumet, and a small group of individuals, brimming with faith and compassion, realized that together they could effectively help to overcome local effects of poverty. They launched New Beginnings Angel Mission, which later became a mission of Portage Lake United Church in Houghton with strong and generous support from the Presbytery of Mackinac. Since then, the grassroots, all volunteer organization has grown, broadened its support, changed its name, and become an independent 501-c-3 corporation but the mission is the same: Copper Country Angel Mission promotes community welfare by serving those in need with compassion and dignity. It retains the support of the local faith community and that of the Presbytery of Mackinac, as well as support from local businesses, organizations, foundations, and individuals."
