Lennell D. Caldwell, on May 25, 1978, had a near fatal motorcycle accident
which changed the direction of his life. From that time the Holy Spirit
impressed upon his heart these words ”I dare you to be different”. To
understand the impact of these words, you would have to understand the
old sinful life he lived, in the church, which was not pleasing to God. But
God, by his love, mercy and grace called him out of darkness and brought
him into his marvelous light.
1 Peter 2:9 “…that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called
you out of darkness into his marvelous light:”
Apostle Caldwell is a dynamic preacher with a very unique gift of teaching, which reaches all people. Because of his experience with church, drugs, music and the streets, he is able to relate to all walks of life, thereby bringing people to salvation and repentance through the message of Jesus Christ, (the anointed one with the anointing) that can remove your burdens and destroy your yokes. Apostle Caldwell has taken this life-changing message to the prisons, to hospitals, to the homeless, and to recovery houses.
He recently authored his first book titled Sin Is A Business, which is Apostle Caldwell’s aspiration to the Body of Christ. After many years of studying and watching the demise of the Church while a small helpless voice cried out ~ this is wrong, Dr. E.L. Branch of Third New Hope Baptist Church asked Rev. Caldwell to teach a class entitled “Unmasking Satan”. Even though he was a young boy preacher, this subject sparked and revolutionized Rev. Caldwell’s life to the point that God gave him insight into things that people see and do everyday, yet they never connect it with sin. This powerful book will open your eyes to the Business of Sin so that it will move you into the Business of Righteousness.
His training is from New Era Bible College and William Tyndale College. However, his mentor, teacher and pastor, the late Bishop Jessie T. Stacks of Shalom Temple in Michigan, imparted the greater portion of the anointing. Rev. Caldwell studied under Bishop Stacks over 22 years and made a commitment to keep the teaching of holiness, by the life he lives and through the messages he preach.
Carol Caldwell is an anointed woman of God who believes that the word of God is
true and is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes. As a teacher
of the gospel, her life is an open book demonstrating the beauty of holiness for all.
God has blessed her with the ability to handle God’s word with wisdom, knowledge,
understanding and simplicity. As she teaches, the power of God changes lives as
burdens are removed and yokes are destroyed. She also has great unction and
desire for Evangelism.
She is married to her childhood sweetheart, Apostle Lennell D. Caldwell of First Baptist World Changers International Ministries. She currently serves faithfully by his side as Church Administrator, and Teacher. In addition, she can sometimes be heard with him on the First Baptist World Changers International Ministries radio broadcast. She and Pastor Caldwell are also business partners. They have been blessed with four children – Pastor Terrance Caldwell, Nakia, Lisa, Michelle; one God sent beautiful daughter-in-law, Juana and four lovely grandchildren ~ Terrance, Jr., Taylor, Rakia and Najay.
Pastor Carol Caldwell is truly striving to be a woman of excellence. She has established a women’s ministry known as the Women of Excellence at First Baptist World Changers International Ministries. Through the word of God, women are taught to become strong, anointed women of God in marriage, single life, parenthood, ministry, education, business and every area of their lives. She has spearheaded annual women’s conferences within this ministry.
Pastor Carol Caldwell has dedicated her life to be a woman after God’s own heart.

First Baptist World Changers International Ministries is a church of vision where we believe in the lifestyle of holiness, living clean, and doing the right things that God requires of us. Our present pastor, Rev. Lennell D. Caldwell was elected in October of 1993. Under his leadership as he is guided by the Holy Spirit, First Baptist has experienced a "new birth" and the membership has continued to increase spiritually, financially, and numerically.
Our History
The late Rev. W. M. Ferrell, pastor of Detroit, Michigan's Macedonia Baptist was contacted by the late Brothers J. D. Young and A. Murray. A council was called on June 3, 1920 and First Baptist was organized as a church with twelve families who were living in the village of Roseville. The first officers of First Baptist were the late Rev. W. D. Edding, Pastor; Deacon J. D. Young; Deacon A. Murray; John Jackson, Church Secretary; Bro. J. D. Young, Sunday School Superintendent; and Sister Phillis Smith, Mother Board.
In 1922, the first parsonage for First Baptist was built with the donations from members and Detroitís Macedonia Baptist Church. Under the leadership of the late Rev. G. W. Wallace, the Church was rebuilt and the cornerstone dedication of the Roseville site was held on June 6, 1948.
During the years, First Baptist was known as Roseville Baptist Church, First Baptist Church and Greater First Baptist Church. In 1952, the official corporation papers were submitted to the State of Michigan, which made the legal name FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH of ROSEVILLE.
In January of 2000, Pastor Lennell Caldwell as directed by God, shared the enhanced name that reflects the worldwide vision which God had given for this church. The legal name of FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF ROSEVILLE is now FIRST BAPTIST WORLD CHANGERS INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES.
When Rev. Lennell D. Caldwell assumed the pastorship at First Baptist, God made a covenant with the Pastor and First Baptist based on 2 Chronicles 7:16. "For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually." This church has a burden for souls to be delivered from substance abuse, illnesses and all manners of sin. We focus on bringing families together and their salvation. We believe you can live free from sin and Holiness is the only way.
1 Peter 1:15,16 says, "But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy."
