Triumph Church
Summary
Triumph Church is a Christian multi-site church located in Detroit, Michigan, USA. It was founded in the fall of 1920 by Reverend Claude Cummings as the Triumph Missionary Baptist Church. Reverend Solomon W. Kinloch, Jr. is currently the Senior Pastor. The church has six weekend and three midweek services and its average attendance makes it one of the largest churches in Detroit and Michigan.
In the last few years, the church has been recognized for its rapid growth. According to Outreach Magazine, it was the 3rd fastest growing church in the United States in 2008, with more than 2,000 new members formalizing a commitment to the church. That growth has continued through 2013, when the church topped the same list with 3,800 new members.
Triumph is also a multi-site church, currently providing nine weekly worship services at five different sites in Metro Detroit.
In addition to its worship facility in the New Center, Detroit area of Detroit (known as the East Campus).
Additional Sunday worship services are held at Canton High School in Canton, Michigan and at the Millennium Centre (known as the North Campus) in Southfield, Michigan.
In January 2010, Triumph relocated some of its services, which had been held at Cass Technical High School's 1100-seat auditorium, to the 2,700-seat Detroit Opera House.
Though Triumph traces its beginnings to the Missionary Baptists organization, as part of the "seeker sensitive" movement it does not publicize its traditional "Baptist" ties as research indicates new believers are less drawn to traditional forms church activities and worship.
Solomon Kinloch, Jr. is the senior pastor of Triumph Church. He has been a minister since the age of 14, at the New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan. In 1998, Rev. Kinloch accepted the call to Pastor at Triumph Baptist Church, in Detroit, Michigan.
Kinloch served on the board of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the New Market Tax Credit Advisory Board.
In the fall of 1920, Reverend Claude Cummings organized the Triumph Missionary Baptist Church.
