Pastor Ben Gibert

Pastor Ben Gibert is the passionate, powerful and personable Senior Pastor of Detroit World Outreach. He became Senior Pastor in June of 2005, fulfilling the “Father to Son” succession plan of our late Pastor, Bishop Jack C. Wallace. Pastor Ben has a rich and varied background in business as well as ministry: As an executive with over 25 years in the automotive industry, he has held top positions with General Motors, Ford, and finally, Daimler Chrysler.

He is renown as one of a select few that have experience in Automotive Manufacturing, Marketing, and Product Development. Pastor Gibert holds a B.A. in Mechanical Engineering from General Motors Institute, M.A. Science, and M.B.A. from Stanford University . He has 25 years of experience in the auto industry; and is one of only a handful of people in the world who have held top leadership positions in Automotive Manufacturing, Marketing, and Product Development for all of the big three.

But Pastor Ben is much more than just an executive...

To many, he is known as “The Accelerator” — the anointing on his life accelerates destiny fulfillment and manifestation of the plan of God in the lives of those that receive it. To others, he is a confident, coaching, spiritual father — determined that he just won’t let you give up until you reach your destiny. Pastor Ben is passionate about teaching and modeling biblical principles in the areas of career, finances, personal relationships and marital success. He has spent much of his life (and his more than 25 years in ministry) discovering those key principles that allow believers to move along on the course of divine destiny.

Pastor Ben’s corporate, family and life experiences, coupled with his deep understanding of biblical principals, make him a powerful, profound and practical teacher of the Word of God.
Pastor Ben’s dedication to a total worship experience ignites a desire for deeper walk with the Lord and promotes consistent growth in Christian maturity. His sons in the Lord, Pastor Matt Beebe and Minister Johnny Humes, have built a praise and worship experience around Pastor Ben and Dr. Charisse’s teachings that is being heard across the nation.
Under Pastor Ben’s leadership, the people of DWO have risen to new levels of discipleship, personal growth and realization of the manifested promises of God. With a current membership of over 3500 and still growing steadily, DWO has more than doubled in the last two years, and over 100 each month are making decisions for Christ.
Pastor Ben and his wife, Co-Pastor Dr.Charisse, have been married for 15 years, producing four wonderful children and countless spiritual sons and daughters. They credit much of their success to the teaching and mentoring of their spiritual parents, the late Bishop Jack C. Wallace, and Bishop I.V. & Dr. Bridget Hilliard of Houston, TX.
