Marvin Winans Biography

The founder and pastor of one of Detroit, Michigan's foremost congregations known as the Perfecting Church, with a growing ministry family that expands far beyond its active local campus is Pastor Marvin L. Winans. His parents, David and Delores Winans raised him in a household of faith. Pastor Winans received the Gospel message at an early age and preached his first sermon at the age of 18 which was as a result of the first-fruit of a ministry calling he accepted in 1970, during a 150 day revival led by Mother Estella Boyd, whom God used to lay hands on him and gave him a vision for his future life in ministry. Pastor Winans' ministry has grown exponentially since heeding the call. From a humble gathering of eight in his basement on May 28, 1989 to a membership of more than 4,500 faithfuls who congregate weekly in Perfecting's expansive, 165,000 square foot site facility. With guiding posts - Colossians 1:28 and the principle, Ministry Means People, 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 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 Perfecting Community Care Center, the Amelia Agnes Transitional Home for Women, and the Jenesta McCraw Youth Activity Center. Plans are in motion for the opening of a performing arts academy in St. Louis, Missouri. Serving as Bishop-Elect of Perfecting Fellowship International, Bishop-Elect Marvin L. Winans oversees a sisterhood of churches both stateside and abroad that encompasses congregations from various states including New York, Texas, Florida, Alabama, London and South Africa; all of which meet annually for church growth, leadership training, community outreach and convocations packed with teaching, preaching and worship. In addition to his ministry achievements, Pastor Winans is a multiple GRAMMY®, Stellar, and Dove winning recording artist, as well as one-fourth of the legendary gospel quartet, The Winans, with whom he recorded beloved hits such as Tomorrow, Ain't No Need to Worry and It's Time. His background in music was put to good use at Perfecting Church, where his songs are sung weekly and have appeared in various recording projects featuring the church's praise band and choir, including the church's 2012's The Praise & Worship Experience, which Pastor Winans produced. With these milestones and legacy in ministry, “I hope that as a church we've established a precedent that never changes even centuries after I'm gone; my prayer is that Perfecting would stand on the truth of the Word of God as revealed on Jesus Christ; upon this rock I will build my church.” Pastor Marvin L. Winans says.
