Rev. Laneika does not only preach and teach the word, but she strives to live out God’s word daily. Her favorite scripture is Philippians 4:13, “I can do ALL things through Christ, who gives me strength.”

Rev. Christy Van Steenburg

Christy Van Steenburg is a devoted follower of Jesus, a wife, and a mother to four young-adult men and two amazing daughter-in-loves. Most recently she has had a new level of joy enter her life as her first grandchild was born in January, 2025. Her life-long passion is to know Jesus and to make Him known. Following a 16-year career in education, Christy (along with her family) pursued Jesus’ calling in their life to serve Him in Central America. As an ordained minister in the Wesleyan Church, Christy continues to serve with Global Partners, now with a stateside appointment dedicated to raising-up a new generation of cross-cultural workers. Christy is passionate about seeing men and women, young and old, in all parts of the world living in and living out Christ’s love, freedom and calling; and therefore, finds great joy in mentoring and discipling people. In Christy’s free time she enjoys spending time with her family.

Evangelist Simone Devlin-Teague

Her daddy was a preacher man; her mamma a cook extraordinaire! This preacher has labored many years in the Lord's vineyard as a teacher, ministry organizer and leader, playwright, director, actress and comedienne.

She is known as an "Impersonator Extraordinaire."

Come along with her as she brings the scripture to life in her portrayal of some of the most prolific women of the Bible, notable women of Black History, and ordinary women in general. Prepare your hearts and minds to receive what God has for you, as she shares the Word of God in an exciting, refreshing, and life changing way (and sometimes downright funny)!
