Climate Justice is Racial Justice: A Detroit Church’s Bold Leap into Clean Energy and Community Impact
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).
A Returning Citizen's Journey into Solar Energy
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.
