Detroiter to Detroiter | Rev. Solomon Kinloch sees leading the city as extension of ministry: “The pulpit is not a pedestal to lift a person, but a platform to lift an entire community."

Rev. Solomon Kinloch says leading the city is an extension of his ministry: “The pulpit is not a pedestal to lift a person, but a platform to lift an entire community.” The Triumph Church pastor wants to use the mayor’s office as a convening force—bringing together unions, CEOs, community groups, and faith leaders to deliver relief without deepening burdens. Kinloch supports punitive measures for corporate partners who break their promises and says Detroiters must be at the center of decisions on how to use land reclaimed from I-375.
