Bishop Marvin Winans sparks outrage after a viral Perfecting Church video shows him publicly correcting a member for not meeting his requested “$1,000 plus $1,000” offering during the Day of Giving service.
Detroit pastor Bishop Marvin Winans is at the center of controversy after a viral video showed him publicly calling out a member at his Perfecting Church over a donation that fell short of his requested amount.
The incident reportedly happened during the congregation’s annual “Day of Giving” service, where Winans asked members to give “$1,000 plus $1,000.”
In the video, a woman approached the pulpit with her young son and announced she was giving $1,235 “in faith.”
Winans said, “That’s only $1,200,” before reminding her that he had specifically asked for two thousand-dollar offerings.
When the woman explained she would provide the rest later, Winans replied, “That’s not what I asked you to do.”
The awkward moment was captured on video and quickly blew up across social media, with social media accusing the Detroit bishop of publicly humiliating a loyal member in front of the entire church.

Perfecting Church has faced years of criticism for its unfinished mega-worship center that’s been under construction for nearly two decades.
Construction first started in the early 2000s but was halted after the 2008 recession affected financing. In 2023, Detroit city officials sued, calling the property a “public eyesore.”
A revised agreement between the city and the church allowed construction to resume with new design updates.
According to reports, the church now expects to complete the project in 2025.
Many social media users blasted Winans for his tone and lack of compassion, saying the woman was clearly giving from the heart.

Wow that was so disrespectful and wrong. Church is all about money not about about God she wrote to the altar what she can bring. He should’ve been satisfied that put a bad taste in my mouth about him. My hungry pastors, they get richer and taken from the poor he must be a republican.
