FAME - First African Methodist Episcopal Church

Rev. Dr. John J. Hunter, Senior Minister
On November 11, 2004 Rev. Dr. John J. Hunter, known affectionately as “Pastor John” was appointed to serve as FAME’s Senior Minister. Since his arrival at FAME more than 3,000 souls have united with the Church and confessed Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

Rev. Hunter was born in Gary, IN and moved to Detroit, MI as a teenager. He joined St. Stephen A.M.E. Church where his father, the late John E. Hunter served as pastor until his election as the 101st Bishop of the A.M.E. Church. He is a graduate of Morehouse College (B.A.), The Boston University School of Law (J.D.), Princeton Theological Seminary (M. Div.) and the University of Missouri at Kansas City, School of Business (M.B.A.).

Rev. Hunter has pastored congregations in Detroit, New Jersey, Wichita, KS, Kansas City, MO, and Seattle. While developing the ministries at the churches where he has served, he believes that he has been anointed to preach "good news to the poor...recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."
