Leadership & Staff

---

Patricia is an Ordained Elder in the Free Methodist Church and also served as the Global Associate (G.A.P.) Prayer Missionary for the North Michigan Conference and beyond. Her focus has been to build the church through prayer and biblical warfare to become a House of Prayer for all nations. With over 35 years of ministry experience in inner healing, deliverance, and heart transformation, she received her ordination in 2013 through the North Michigan Free Methodist School of Ministry-USA. Additionally, she holds a certification in Biblical Counseling from the American Association of Christian Counselors through the Light Learning Institute in Forest, VG, and has received spiritual training from Life Center for Spiritual Growth based in Grand Rapids, alongside attending Mount Hope Bible Training Institute in Lansing.

Patricia facilitated the North Michigan Arise Prayer and Worship Team for approximately 4 years, which consisted of worshipers and intercessors. The team led those who were hungry and thirsty for more of God’s presence into healing prayer, revival focus, and anointed worship. She was also the founder/director of Koinonia Life Ministries (focused on spiritual formation) and the founder of Radiant Bride Retreat Ministries, where many women found freedom through the power and intimate presence of Jesus Christ. She has served as a lead/interim pastor in various other churches since 2008.
 

Patricia's mandate is to infuse the church with the biblical principles of freedom, based on a life-devotional and spiritual retreat that is God-inspired, called Heaven's Jubilee. It is a written prophetic word that inspires the sanctified church to arise and come together as His Warrior Bride. Please stay tuned, for there is more to come!

Patricia cherishes her Christian heritage as a fifth-generation Free Methodist, with four of her ancestors who were ordained. She follows in the footsteps of her great-grandmother, the Reverend Coda Mae Butler, who was an Ordained Deacon in the North Michigan Conference. This remarkable woman possessed the gift of healing and traveled across the country leading tent revivals called “The Rev. Coda Butler Evangelistic Party,” which included her three daughters: the famous Butler Sisters, who danced in the Holy Spirit, and Patricia’s grandmother, The Rev. Falice Ann Tefft, an Ordained Evangelist. Together, these three women sang in perfect harmony as the worship team. In her obituary, Rev. Coda was described as “a passionate soul-winner, fearless preacher, church planter, warrior of the cross, ardent burden-bearer, and a trailblazer in advancing the Kingdom of God” in the early to mid-1900s.  

Patricia holds her heritage in high regard as she humbly continues to learn to live as her family forerunners did… in God’s Holy Presence, as He is her very First Love. She is a proud mother of two sons, has two beautiful daughters-in-law, and eight precious grandchildren. In the name of Jesus Christ, Heaven's Jubilee is her legacy to them, for they are her heritage, her heart, and her love.
