CO-PASTOR VANESSA H. MULLEN

Co-Pastor Vanessa H. Mullen was born in New Bern, NC. She is married to Bishop Aubrey G. Mullen, Jr. and together they have been blessed with four children, daughters Canita and Krystal and sons Christopher (deceased) and Gerard. Also, they have two loving granddaughters N'Jaria Abria-Joi and Abria Louisa, as well as a handsome grandson, Christopher Joseph. They are all presently residing in Jacksonville, NC.

Co-Pastor Vanessa grew up in church and became involved in ministry at an early age. She has ministered throughout what thus says the Lord. She is a motivator and has a passion for women's ministry in all areas. She motivates the hearer to “Push Through to Forgiveness” and walk out of their “Dark Place” into their rightful place in the Body of Christ. Co-Pastor conducts workshops, seminars, and conferences. It is her mission to help every “Sista” break free of her past and walk into her destiny!

A wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter and friend, Co-Pastor has a heart for people and works tirelessly to help any and everyone with their “special needs.” She has birthed the Women's Ministry, Women of Purpose, consisting of over 400 women purposed to edify, uplift, and encourage one another and their brothers in the word, prayer, and through praise. Also, “Sista 2 Sista” ministries designed to reach out to sisters of all ages and from every walk of life, teaching the young ladies and learning from the aged (Titus 2:3-5). She founded the Abundance of Love and Learning Center — more than just childcare — “a loving learning environment.”

Co-Pastor Vanessa functions and flourishes alongside her husband and best friend, Bishop Aubrey G. Mullen, Jr. Her awesome example of Godly love, integrity, and virtue is an inspiration for all who come in contact with this anointed vessel as she teaches, instructs, and ministers in a practical yet exciting way.

She has ministered mightily such messages as: “When the Music Stops,” “When the Hurt Won't Stop Hurting,” “Stand,” “How to Handle the Dark Place,” “Let's Grow Up,” and “Making Right Choices.” These address some of today's most difficult issues such as worship, raising children and women's roles in church and society. Be prepared to hear a life changing word as she walks in the “favor” of God.
