GOD'S CALLPastor Marvin L. Winans is the founder and pastor of Perfecting Church, one of Detroit, Michigan's foremost congregations and a growing ministry family that extends far beyond its active local campus. Since heeding the call, his ministry has grown exponentially, from a humble gathering of eight in his own basement on May 28, 1989, to a membership of more than of 4,000 faithful who congregate weekly in Perfecting Church's expansive, 165,000-sq. ft. site. With Colossians 1:28 and the motto "Ministry Means People" as guiding posts, Pastor Winans has taken a holistic approach to the pastorate; following Christ's model of meeting humanity's needs prior to addressing their spiritual condition through the life-changing power of the Gospel. This approach has led to the creation of various outreach and educational programs, all under the umbrella of the Perfecting Community Development Corporation including the Marvin L. Winans Academy of Performing Arts, the Rutherford Winans Academy, the Perfecting Community Care Center, the Amelia Agnes Transitional Home for Women, and the Jenesta McCraw Youth Activity Center. Currently, plans are underway for opening additional performing arts schools across the country. |
