Lord of Lords Christian Ministries’ story isn’t just one about solar panels or energy upgrades—it’s a story about people, faith, and the unexpected doors that open when a community dares to believe in something bigger than their circumstances.

In the heart of a neighborhood long shaped by disinvestment and environmental injustice, what began as an effort to improve air quality and cut energy costs has become a movement that’s energized a congregation, inspired neighboring churches, and positioned the church’s pastor, Calvin Glass, as a powerful local voice for clean energy and equity.

Lord of Lords hosted a Solar Celebration to celebrate the installation of their panels and Michigan IPL's 20th anniversary (May 2024).

At 16, Troy was incarcerated. Released at 28, he was determined to turn his life around. A chance connection through his family's church, Lord of Lords Ministries, led him to the solar industry.

What started as a 30-day trial with Homeland Solar turned into a career in clean energy. With a teachable spirit and a drive to grow, Troy is now part of a mission-driven team bringing solar power to communities across southeast Michigan.
