Apostle Melissa was ordained on September 3, 2010, under Mission of Light Ministries. She has been trained as an Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, and Teacher. While attending Mission of Light Ministry Church (formerly known as Saint Louis New Testament Church), she served as Assistant Pastor, Home Group Leader, and Traveling Minister, where she helped teach and train the local church members to preach, teach, and operate in the Gifts of the Spirit. Apostle Melissa has been invited to speak at revival meetings, church conferences, and pastors’ meetings throughout the United States, Germany, and Mexico.

The Holy Spirit operates through her in the gifts of healing, deliverance, prophecy, and teaching. Through preaching the Word and the prophetic gift, Melissa encourages churches to fulfill their vision and individuals to fulfill their calls, live victoriously, and stay on course with God’s plan for their lives. She desires to see everyone develop their relationship with the Lord. By doing so, people will begin to see their full potential in Christ and fulfill the call of God in their lives. This is where victorious living starts. Pastor Melissa has served as the Associate Pastor since 2010 and became the Senior Pastor in February 2015 to continue the vision.
