The church you're referring to is likely the New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, where Aretha Franklin's father, C.L. Franklin, was the pastor. Aretha began her singing career there as a child, performing Gospel Music with the church choir. This environment greatly influenced her musical style and spiritual outlook, ultimately paving the way for her legendary career in soul and R&B music.
