Our Pastor

I love Metro Detroit. It’s more than just a place—it’s a people, a purpose, and a calling. At City Light Central, we see a city full of potential and a future filled with God’s promises.

After over a decade of ministry leadership, in 2025 the Holy Spirit led me to plant City Light Central—a life-giving, Spirit-led church focused on helping people know Jesus, grow in faith, and shine His light in every corner of our city.

What We Believe

• We believe the Bible is more than a book — it’s God’s message to us. It’s alive, trustworthy, and helps us make sense of life, relationships, and purpose.

2 Timothy 3:16–17, Hebrews 4:12, Psalm 119:105

• We believe in one loving and eternal God — the Creator of everything — who reveals Himself as Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit.

 Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14

• We believe that all of us have struggled to live the way we were created to. Our mistakes and brokenness have separated us from God’s original design.

Romans 3:23, Isaiah 59:2, Romans 6:23

• We believe that Jesus came to restore what was lost. He lived a perfect life, died in our place, and rose again — so we can have hope, healing, and a fresh start.

 John 3:16, 1 Peter 2:24, 1 Corinthians 15:3–4

• We believe that anyone — no matter their past — can receive forgiveness and new life by turning toward Jesus and putting their trust in Him.

Romans 10:9–10, Acts 3:19, 2 Corinthians 5:17

• We believe that following Jesus is a journey. Through water baptism and the power of the Holy Spirit, we grow, change, and discover who we were made to be.

Matthew 28:19–20, Acts 1:8, Romans 6:4, Acts 2:38

• We believe the Church is not just a building — it’s a community of people learning to love God, love others, and live with purpose.

 Acts 2:42–47, Hebrews 10:24–25, Ephesians 4:11–13

• We believe that God still works in amazing ways today. He heals, transforms, and meets us in real and personal ways.

Hebrews 13:8, James 5:14–16, John 14:12

• We believe that life doesn’t end when we die. Eternity is real, and what we do with Jesus shapes where we spend it.

John 5:24, Matthew 25:46, Revelation 20:11–15

• We believe that Jesus is coming back to make all things right — and that gives us real hope for the future.

 Acts 1:10–11, Revelation 22:12, 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17

• We believe that marriage is a beautiful gift from God, meant to be shared between one man and one woman in a lifelong covenant of love and faithfulness.

Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4–6, Hebrews 13:4
