Rev. Solomon Kinloch, Jr., was born to the late Solomon, Sr. and Janie Kinloch on July 28, 1973. He is the youngest son and the fifth of six children. He has been a minister since the age of 14, beginning under the tutelage of Rev. Robert Smith, Jr. at the New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan.

In 1998, Pastor Kinloch accepted the call to Pastor at Triumph Church, in Detroit, Michigan. At the beginning of his tenure, Triumph's membership was less than 50 people. Under Kinloch's visionary leadership, Triumph Church has since blossomed into a multi-site phenomenon, utilizing eight campuses and hosting fourteen weekly services for more than 35,000 members (and counting).

Every year since 2008, the Christian publication Outreach Magazine, has named Triumph Church one of the Fastest Growing Churches in the United States. Since 2012, the same publication has named Triumph one of the Top 100 Largest Churches in America. There are no signs of that trend slowing down as the church welcomes nearly 400 new members each month. Triumph Church been listed as high as #1 on the Fastest Growing Church list and #25 on Overall Largest Church list.

Extraordinary growth and dynamic leadership has helped drive Triumph's community outreach and ministry initiatives, which include providing tens of thousands of free meals, offering annual scholarships to teens, and various free community workshops that promote healthy financial, mental, physical and spiritual living.

Recently in 2020, Pastor Kinloch demonstrated his civic and community leadership during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Triumph Church began distributing FREE groceries to 1,000 families each week, with particular attention paid to our seniors, the unemployed, disabled and single mothers. Triumph also attacked the digital divide in Detroit, as many students education was disrupted. Triumph Church distributed a 1,000 FREE tablets weekly to students in need, giving the hardware they desperately need so they are not behind educationally.

In an effort to help stop the COVID-19 spread and practice social distancing, Triumph Church temporarily holds live-streaming and drive-in services in our North Campus parking lot. We have also launched weekly prayer calls to help our community and membership remain hopeful during this crisis. Triumph Church worship services are broadcast weekly on local ABC, CBS and NBC affiliates as “Live TRIUMPHantly with Solomon Kinloch, Jr.” The ministry growth has been explosive, with nearly 500 new members committing to the church in the first weeks of the crisis, while our broadcasting platforms have reached more than 100,000 people.
