The Michigan/Indiana Search & Rescue team was established in 2023. Our team members are from conservative Christian communities and are passionate about helping others.
Our goal is to be an effective resource to assist local law enforcement, EMS, fire departments, park services, and other responsible agencies with missing person searches.
We strive to maintain proficiency in our skills and work hard to stay current in training and equipment. Since our team is volunteer-based, we do not charge for our services. Our ultimate goal is to show the compassion and love of Christ to people in distress.

I just wanted to say thank you. I truly appreciate every one of you and all the effort you put in. As much as the outcome hurts, the closure was needed by so many of us. From the bottom of my heart thank you for all you have done for us and all you do for so many others.
I would like to commend your Michigan/Indiana crew. They came out to Delton, Michigan to look for a missing man with Dementia/Alzheimer’s. They were professional, organized, and determined to find Mike. They worked with and shared info with the other SAR groups there. The technology and equipment they brought in helped tremendously. I went out with Dennis and Shannon from your group to search a couple of grids, and they treated me as one of their own with one common goal. This was the neighborhood I grew up in, and it could have easily been one of my parents. To see y’all come out and find Mike was much appreciated. Thank you for your service and dedication.
