Pastor Natalie received a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in Christian Education from International Bible College and Seminary in Independence, Missouri and a Doctorate in Christian Education from Carolina University of Theology. As a result of her years of experience and educational training, she co-founded Calvary Christian Academy in 1991 which offers quality programs that target the spiritual, academic, physical and emotional needs of children enrolled in preschool through fifth grades. Pastor Natalie also co-founded Calvary Bible College in 1997 and serves as Vice President of CBC, an institution which seeks to educate, liberate and empower servant leaders through the Word of God so that graduates of its certificate and associate degree programs may utilize their gifts and talents in their local churches.
Pastor Natalie and her husband also founded Calvary Covenant Ministries, Inc., an organization which seeks to bring together clergy, national and international churches and ministry partners at various levels with the objective of imparting spiritual, administrative and practical counsel and information into the lives and ministries of those who desire to serve God with a spirit of excellence.
As founder of the Women of Worth Conference in 2002 and the Women of Worth and Worship Institute (WOWWI) in 2007, Pastor Natalie seeks to provide godly and practical instruction to women of at least 18 years of age and older who desire to learn and implement biblical truths and principles from her life's lessons. As the personal mentor of countless women, she strives to equip them with knowledge and wisdom so that they can possess their inheritance as women of value, virtue and victory who will expand the kingdom of God. This is accomplished through annual women's conferences and Lady Pastors' retreats as well as several eight- week sessions that are held throughout the year and on-line for registered participants.
