 Pastor
Marvin N. Miles currently resides in the
Metro Detroit area. He is supported by his lovely wife
Carolyn and his darling children: Jasmine, Mosea, Malik and
Meghan. He pastors International Gospel Center in Ecorse,
Michigan, where he is directed by one greater than himself to
reach out to individuals via those things that are tangible as
well intangible. His vision as a leader is far-reaching and
is not limited to the church. He reaches out to the
community in ways that have impacted individuals’ lives
enormously.
Pastor
Miles, the youngest of five sons of Dr. Luvenia Miles and the
late Pastor Charles O. Miles, graduated from the Morris Cerullo
School of Ministry in 1979. As a young individual, it was
evident that God’s call was on his life. He also
graduated from Xavier University in New Orleans, Louisiana, with
a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Economics. He
received another Bachelor’s degree in Education and History
from Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
Pastor
Miles is strongly dedicated to spiritual outreach, community
relations, prison ministry, affordable housing, international
experiences, mission leadership, program planning and
development, grief counseling, youth mentorship, volunteer
programming, committee leadership and nursing home
ministry. He has helped many individuals break away from
the yoke of poverty. Many young people have stopped running
the streets and are now working diligently in the church because
of Pastor Miles’ outreach to the youth. Former
prisoners, who met Pastor Miles while in prison, are now members
of International Gospel Center.
This is due to Pastor Miles’ constant visits to preach to
them and the power of God that delivered them.
He has
achieved many of his goals during his tenure as pastor. He
instituted the Charles O. Miles Community Outreach, which
dispenses food to indigent individuals in the community.
His assistance to foreign missions is absolutely
outstanding. Many Christians in third world countries have
received tapes, Bibles and Sunday School materials as part of
Pastor Miles’ literature distribution campaign.
Pastor
Miles is the president of the Charles O. Miles Senior Non-Profit
Housing Corporation. That’s the entity under which
Miles Manor, International Gospel Center’s
37-unit senior complex, sits. He’s president of the
Charles O. Miles Senior Non-Profit Housing Corporation board of
directors. He’s president of Miles Salliotte
Development, LLC, the entity under which
the Salliotte Townhouse Condominiums sit. He’s
president of IGC Community Development Services, LLC, the entity under which the International
Apartments, Medical Center and
single-family homes sit. He also sits on the New Market Tax
Credit Advisory Board, Governor’s Office of Community and Faith-Based
Initiatives, Development Corporation of Wayne County and
the Governor’s Clergy Leadership Advisory Council for Southeastern Michigan.
Pastor
Miles organizes Empowerment Conferences throughout the country in
an effort to teach individuals how to develop properties, as well
as obtain the funds necessary to do so. In recognition of
his dedication to International Gospel Center’s
Salliotte Development Project, Pastor Miles was awarded the 2003
Vision Award by Mr. Robert A. Ficano, Wayne County Executive.
This award commends the vision and investment of International Gospel Center to
the City of Ecorse and Wayne County.
He also initiated the first Neighborhood Enterprise Zone in the
city of Ecorse.
Because
of Pastor Miles’ anointed ministry and leadership,
individuals are joining International Gospel Center in
record numbers. God has imparted in Pastor Miles a uniquely
powerful teaching and preaching ministry and a heightened
attitude of praise and worship which, along with the laying on of
hands, has taken International Gospel Center to an
extremely high spiritual level. As he ministers, miracles
of salvation, healing and deliverance occur. Through his
deep devotion to humanity and personal daily relationship with
Christ, he is making footprints in the sands of time.
