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.
