Co-Lead PastorServing alongside Pastor Godman Akinlabi at The Elevation Church
Faith, structure and stewardship.
Alongside Pastor Godman Akinlabi, she serves as Global Co-Lead Pastor of The Elevation Church, bringing her own gifts to building the church. Years in treasury and financial management gave her a gift for structure, order and stewardship, and she now brings that foundation to how she serves.
Her strategic approach to leadership has helped shape key areas of church life, from the children’s ministry to the administration, people and financial structures that support the church’s growth.
Through biblical teaching, Jewels and the Made for More Conference, she creates room for people to grow in their faith, their families and the purpose God has placed on their lives.
