The beginning

Bishop Clarence Langston is the Founder and Senior Pastor of Word in Action Christian Center in Detroit, Michigan. Langston zealously answered the call to salvation at the age of 20, after experiencing numerous trials and tribulations. During his younger years, he was drawn to street life which ultimately found him fearing for his life. Soon after that, Langston received the call to salvation.  He then served in numerous facets of ministry for nearly 20 years. In 2006, Langston founded Word In Action Christian Center, in Detroit, MI. Anointed with a rhema word from God, he teaches with an unwavering boldness. As an apostolic reformer, he is called to perfect the saints by imparting biblical truths, emphasizing deliverance and spiritual warfare, and activating the gifts of the Spirit in order to develop strong disciples and ministries in the body of Christ. He has a strong apostolic and prophetic call and fathers the sons and daughters of God by equipping and empowering them to live holy, prosperous lives with unshakeable faith.

“ Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I: send me. ”
Isaiah 6:8


Even though she grew up in church, Co-Pastor Robyn never imagined how God would use her. Setting her eyes on the corporate arena early in life, she Graduated from Spelman College in 1994, with a degree in Psychology and Magna Cum Laude from Wayne State University’s Law School in 2000. From that point on, her corporate career was launched, eventually leading her to work in the federal court system and as a corporate attorney for a major law firm in the city of Detroit.

In 2010, First Lady Robyn joined Bishop full time to undergird him in ministry.  She directed the education, finance and administration departments. In 2012, Bishop Elect Langston asked First Lady Robyn join him as Co-Pastor in the ministry, where she continues to oversee education and administration. She joins Bishop in ministering to the souls of the city of Detroit during their weekly 8:30 AM Sunday radio broadcast on WHPR 102.7 FM, in addition to serving as a Prophetess, a Teacher and a Preacher of the Word.

Co-Pastor Robyn has been positioned by God and supported by Bishop Langston to take her voice to the nation, to enrich the kingdom of God.

Most importantly Bishop Langston and Pastor Robyn loving share in raising their three children.
