Ever wonder how a church grows from a living room to a multi-purpose facility? The story of Jubilee Christian Center in Detroit starts with humble beginnings and a powerful vision.
In 1996, Dennis G. Williams and his wife Wendelin founded Jubilee Christian Center. Dennis had just graduated from Ministry School the year before. He started Jubilee Ministries with monthly meetings focused on God’s Banking System. These meetings became more frequent. They went from bi-weekly to weekly.
The first official church organization meeting happened in March 1996. It was held in the Williams’ home. Seven people attended. Jubilee Christian Center’s first Sunday service was on May 6, 1996. They rented space in a church building on Schaefer Road in Detroit. They had a two-and-a-half-hour slot each Sunday.
Imagine all of their church supplies fitting into a cardboard box. Their praise and worship music came from a boom box. A single microphone amplified the sound.
Later, Jubilee Christian Center purchased the Schaefer Road facility. They stayed there until they moved to a hotel in Southfield, Michigan. Jubilee eventually moved to a larger space. It is a 21000 square foot multi-purpose facility. It sits on three acres of land in Livonia, Michigan.
Today, Jubilee Christian Center offers many ministries. These ministries cater to all age groups. Men of Valor is their men’s ministry. Women of Righteous Dominion is for women. Truth Zone-TZ serves the youth. Kingdom Kidz is the children’s ministry. Covenant Couples supports married couples. Blood Bought Singles offers fellowship for singles.
