The new docu-drama Preachers of Detroit will "create an opportunity for the gospel and for great conversation, dialogue, and positive messages to shine through," according to Pastor David Alexander Bullock.

Speaking to EurWeb, Bullock said that the show will be "good, clean entertainment" for the entire family, and will show both the good and bad sides of Detroit ministries.

"Viewers will witness what the people of Detroit are battling every day, and how the Preachers of Detroit tackle our own lives, as well as tackle important issues to uplift our people and our city across many spectrums," he said.

Bullock guaranteed that there will be several tense and confrontational moments throughout the show, which viewers can learn from. 

"Fundamentally, I want viewers to enjoy Preachers of Detroit, because it will be entertaining," said Bullock. "I want viewers to connect with us, but the show is not a bible study. I want people to think, be impacted and ask questions about their own Christian walk of faith with God. I want people to laugh with us and cry with us. Pick a side and tweak about the show, because there is diversity among the ministers that will include two females and a white minister."

As far as diversity goes, Bullock is thrilled that the show will feature several African American-owned restaurants and establishments, as well as the different churches in Detroit.

"My church is probably in the most depressed area when compared to the other ministers' churches that will be a part of the series," he shared. "I serve a very, very poor community in Highland Park."

Other cast members of the show include Bishop Charles H. Ellis III, Bishop Corletta Vaughn, Bishop-Elect Clarence Langston, Pastor Don William Shelby Jr., evangelist and gospel recording artist Dorinda Clark- Cole, and Pastor Tim Alden.
