Pastor Michael Mathis Sr. is the Pastor of Word Empowerment Christian Ministries, located in Detroit, MI.  Pastor Mathis accepted the call to ministry at the age of 13 years old.  His love and zeal for God followed him wherever he went.  Therefore, having to obey God at such a young age, he made the decision to press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Pastor Mathis became an Elder in the Lord’s church in 2010, serving in many areas of ministry. 

​

During this time the Lord, had began to deal with Pastor Mathis on the course he was on.  On August 11, 2019, Pastor Mathis began a pastoral work, serving as Lead Pastor of Kingdom Love Fellowship Assembly - Northwest Campus.  Through this course, God reminded Pastor Mathis of what the ordained purpose and plan for his life was and he could not settle his journey, but progressively, by faith, move forward.  On April 24, 2020, Word Empowerment Christian Ministries was birthed.  Pastor Mathis believes by the spirit of God that WEC has been called to EMPOWER, IMPACT, and CALL FORTH.  In the year of 2012, Pastor Michael received the favor of God in his life, when he married the love of his life, Ashley Mathis.  Together they have three children: Makyla, Kaylen, and MJ (Michael Jr).

​

One of his greatest joys comes from seeing the saved and unsaved be changed through the power of God’s Word.  Although Pastor Mathis has faced his own trials and tribulations, by faith he always declares Jude 3:1 “I will contend for the faith which was once delivered unto me”, therefore; he vowed a vow and stands firmly on Numbers 30:1-2 that "if a man make a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth."
