Our History

Soul Saving Center was founded by Rev. Irvin Hinmon.  He was called by God to go into the streets, the prisons and up and down the east coast, preaching the gospel mainly through street meetings.  Uprooting his family from their home church they went where he was sent!   Equipped with a flat bed truck with a piano and sound system, he would set up in the roughest of neighborhoods having Mikki and Jacci, his daughters to sing and draw the crowd.  His brother James HInmon and his wife Carolyn would also accompany them in the streets.  Rev. Hinmon's  voice would thunder all over the streets "You can't stop God from loving you!  He will love you even in hell but you don't have to go there!  Accept Jesus today!"

Rev. Irvin would always set up next to a bar and today, not one of those bars are standing!  

He needed a place to call church for the new converts that were giving their lives to Jesus and so he bought a bar that was closed and he and his friends transformed it into a church and named it Soul Saving Center after Soul Saving Station in Harlem, NY where he mentored under Rev. Jesse Winley learning how to effectively minister in Outreach Ministry.

The building was destroyed by fire in the nineties but God blessed the ministry with the former Synagogue in Salem, NJ where Rev. Hinmon pastored until he was too ill to continue.   His daughter has taken the reins of the ministry, following her father's example living out Romans 12:16

Be of the same mind toward one another.  Mind not high things but condescend to men of low estate.  Be not wise in your own conceits.

Pastor Mikki is continuing the ministry her father, Rev. Irvin A. Hinmon founded in 1971.  Mikki has yielded to the calling on her life to lead, love and listen to the leading of the Holy Spirit as she ministers inside and outside of the church.

Mikki has traveled the world as a background singer for many major artists.  But the calling to pastor Soul Saving Center has been the best blessing of her life.  

Mikki is a graduate of Zion Bible College with a BA in Biblical Studies

and completed her MA in E.d Leadership at Arcadia University.

Glenn, Minister Of Music and also the Artist of the "Follow The Artist" ministry is using his gifts to engage the community through his Art programs.  Showing God's love and building confidence and encouraging dreams is something Glenn has been gifted to bring to Soul Saving Center, and God is opening doors for him to bring the gospel through the creative arts!

 2 CORINTHIANS 5:18-20 (NIV) READS:

Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.

THE MISSION OF SOUL SAVING CENTER IS TO:

RECONCILE PEOPLE TO GOD

Since the first sin of man, people have been separated from God. Our mission is to direct them back into full relationship with the God who created them and to fulfill the purpose for their lives: intimate fellowship and worship of our loving God.

REACH THE COMMUNITY

People need the Lord. Our neighbors and friends are our mission field. God has planted Soul Saving Center in the community to reach them with the Gospel of Jesus Christ that will accomplish the reconciliation with God and restoration of lives spoken about in God's Word.

 RESTORE PEOPLE TO ONE ANOTHER

Broken hearts and lives are the result of sin and it's grip on people. Our mission is to help them be restored to the relationships that God has designed for their lives
