Pastor Hinson is the Senior Pastor of the Alpha Worship Center, where “Everybody is Somebody and Jesus Christ is Lord.”

“When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.” —1 Corinthians 2:1-5
