Friends United



  • Friends United is an initiative of the First United Methodist Church of Dearborn and a community of Arab American leaders formed to create mutual understanding of and appreciation for our neighbors and friends. Friends United seeks to unite communities of people by understanding our similarities and to enlighten these communities by discovering our differences. We in Dearborn are a community united by land, geography and the quest for peace. Let’s become a community united by friendship.

  • Friends United has hosted events at the Arab American National Museum, the University of Michigan and the First United Methodist Church and has brought diverse groups together to dialogue and create bridges of understanding.

  • Friends United is currently planning additional activities including a community-wide summer picnic, forums and other gatherings designed to bring Dearborn's diverse community together. For more information please call 313-563-5200 or fumcod@aol.com
