In an early morning vision, the Lord gave Pastor Winfield the name of what the Ministry would be called, “Fresh Start Ministries”. Pastor Winfield, affectionately known as “Pastor Fresh,” wanted the church to exist for new beginnings. He wanted it to be a place for people of all races, a place for caring and sharing with others, a place for love and warmth, a place for healing and a place for celebrating God’s redeeming grace. 

He held his first church service in a Union Hall on Detroit’s Westside with 16 charter members, February 2005. Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. (Job 8:7) In February 2005, the Lord called Pastor Charles Winfield to Discipleship. Pastor Winfield knew that God had placed a special call on his life to win souls to the Kingdom, and as a result, he has worked enthusiastically and diligently for the Lord to honor and fulfill his assignment.
