A Legacy of Leadership

Founded in 1986 by Dr. James L. Morman and his wife, Loretta Morman, CTAB have been force of love and spiritual guidance for nearly four decades. Dr. Morman, serving as Senior Pastor, has been committed to preaching and teaching the Word with conviction, aiming to see individuals lead holy lives enriched with God's blessings. His vision encompassed community outreach, evangelism, and fostering social and economic growth.

First Lady Loretta Morman, recognized as CTAB's Chief Administrative Officer and a Michigan Chronicle  Woman of Excellence, has been instrumental in the church's daily operations and various ministries. Her dedication to education, business, and psychology has left an indelible mark on the congregation.

Embracing the Future with Pastor C and Pastor Lo

Dr. Cecil I. Forbes, Jr., known affectionately as Pastor C, brings a unique blend of spiritual and physical healing to his pastoral role. As a Doctor of Chiropractic Therapy and owner of iCare Wellness Group, he has dedicated his career to holistic well-being. His passion for faith, family, and health is evident in his approach to ministry, aiming to guide CTAB members toward spiritual and physical wholeness.

Pastor Loretta Forbes, or Pastor Lo, complements this vision with her dedication to empowering women and girls. As a licensed therapist and empowerment speaker, she has focused on helping individuals discover their self-worth and purpose. Her background in psychology and social service, combined with real-life wisdom, positions her to inspire and uplift the CTAB community.
