In March 2006, Pastor Van, his wife, Dr. Ty, and eighteen believers opened their hearts to a vision from God. In a small, rented banquet hall in downtown Birmingham, The Worship Center came to life. This nontraditional, multicultural ministry grew quickly and has launched additional campuses throughout Alabama to spread the message of Jesus Christ. Since the inception of the ministry, the desire to impact the lives of the unsaved and unchurched has remained consistent.
