Pastor Ernestine was called into ministry in 1977 and ordained in the Freewill Baptist denomination. But she began to hunger for more than she was getting in the denomination although she loved the people. The Holy Spirit led her to books written by Kenneth Hagins which sparked in her a love and hunger for God's word.
Eventually she started listening to Andrew Wommack and discovered the "True Nature of God". This led to a reconciling of the Old and New Covenant for her. This was major and when Charis Bible College started in Raleigh, she was led to go. She is a third year Charis graduate of Raleigh-Durham NC. Charis was a place she learned God's unconditional Grace and love.
Due to a burden she felt from God for the Wilson area and a lack of the Grace and Faith message she was led to start a Charis Bible Study at her home after graduation. Eventaually she was led to start a church in the area. The Church became "Kingdom Place"
She has experinced freedom in many areas but especially freedom from the fear of Satan and man. She has a love for the Father, Jesus his Son and Holy Spirit. She also has a passion for people to know the love of God and that they are saved by grace and not works. She diesire to see the sick healed and for believers to walk in health. She desired for people to know who they are in Christ, what they have in Christ and what they can do in Him. She values God's Presense, His Son Jesus, His Word and knowing His Love. It's call Grace!
