I am an Attorney, a co-Pastor and Co-Founder of Faith Fellowship, a multi-cultural Church in Worcester started some fifteen years ago. I was born in Ghana in West Africa and have lived in Worcester for close to two decades. I am licensed and qualified in both Massachusetts & New York and hold a Master’s Degree in Law from McGill University in Montreal, Canada. a mother of three biological children and countless spiritual children all over the world, I find fulfilment in seeing the people entrusted to my care and counsel find success and experience fulfilment in their lives.
Co-pastoring Faith Fellowship has been a most rewarding journey right next to raising my children; Joseph, Jude, and Faith. At Faith Fellowship, I preach, counsel and teach alongside my husband and head the women’s ministry, spearheading women’s retreats and annual women’s conferences attended by Women from local churches and beyond.
My passion is to empower women and see women, whatever their ages, backgrounds, or educational level, succeed in their calling, vocation or career. I firmly believe that women are as important in the Church and the secular world as men and must always seek to make significant contributions in their workplaces and their communities. I grew up in a home where my parents never saw my gender as a limiting attribute; they always encouraged me to dream big, and to never see anything as being impossible for me. I yearn to see young girls and young women see themselves in the same light.
When I have any, I like to write, read, watch movies or hang out with my family in my free time.
Please tell us about your current career and what you love most about what you do?
Currently, I co-Pastor our Church with my husband. What I love most about what I do is seeing people without hope and a future turning their lives around, breaking barriers and becoming upstanding citizens in their community because they found Jesus Christ.
