Church Health Minister
Pastor Demetrius Booker has been the visionary leader and Lead Pastor of Lighthouse Community Church (LHC) since 1996.
Pastor Booker was called to Ministry in 1974 at the age of fifteen. He is a graduate of Azusa Pacific University where he received dual degrees in Communication and Pastoral Theology. He holds a Master’ss Degree in Ministry from Southern California School of Ministry.
In 2002 he started Operation Reformation which took the church through a five year journey which eventually led the congregation to a new location in the City of Redford, MI. The Church sits on several acres of property with works in process of building a twenty-first century sanctuary and office complex to accommodate a missional minded, vision driven congregation.
It was during operation reformation that Pastor Booker victoriously led his church through a three year Federal Court battle against one of Michigan’s wealthiest cities. The victory is now referred to as the “Lighthouse Affect” which bars cities from discriminating against churches when it comes to land use and zoning issues.
He and his wife Doreen of thirty-years are empty nesters, having raised three daughters.
