Meet Pastor Keenann

Ninety seconds, and you'll know why Detroit calls Impact home.

Saved at a piano in a college lounge. Called to preach in 1995. Planting, losing, rebuilding, and paying off one church in one city ever since. He doesn't do highlight reels — but he'll tell you the real story.

01

Faith & Mindset

Alignment, identity, and faith under pressure — renewing the mind until the life catches up. If it's not aligned, it's not allowed.

02

Leadership & Vision

Leadership multiplication: turning potential into ownership, and casting vision people will actually carry.

03

Church Growth & Culture

Building a culture strong enough to hold real life — including rebuilding after loss, from a pastor who lost 60% of a congregation in one season and rebuilt.

04

Creativity & Innovation

Content, media, AI, and technology as stewardship — how a Detroit church built a daily broadcast and a digital front door without losing its soul.

05

Men, Family & Legacy

Fatherhood, marriage, and building a house that outlasts you — from a man whose three adult children all serve in ministry beside him.

06

City Impact

The church as a transformational force in its city — Detroit won one household at a time, and what that looks like anywhere.
