Pastor Tracy Jennings was ordained as a minister in 2001. In 2003, he became the founding Pastor of Total Christian Life Ministry, a non-denominational, Christian faith-based church that began in his home with his family., Growth began as God began to move and the church moved not once but twice until the purchasing our Total Christian Life Ministry’s current church building located in Joliet, Illinois.

Upon the purchase in the Fall of 2008, Pastor Tracy Jennings took a thorough assessment of the overall condition of the community and found that there was the need for improvement, not for the sole sake of the church but for the residents. Pastor Tracy Jennings is a man of action and isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo to help enhance the lives of those around him.
