Pastor Patricia A. Gainer has been anointed for such a time as this to touch the hearts of nations; for the purpose of deliverance, healing and wholeness in Christ Jesus.  A native of Greensboro, North Carolina, Pastor G (as she is affectionately known) is the eldest daughter of the late Patrick and Willie Mae Gainer.  However, she was raised by her grandparents the late Mack J and Hattie B. Gainer in a loving Christian home. 

           

            It was at the tender age of twelve that Pastor Gainer’s life was forever changed because it commemorates the moment she received the Lord Jesus in to her life and was filled with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.  From that moment she has continued to strive for excellence in her walk with the Lord.  Moreover, Pastor Gainer is a dynamic preacher and prolific orator that proclaims the Gospel of Jesus Christ with great passion and authority like none other.  Her preaching of the pure and unadulterated word of the Lord has led many to Christ and continues to impact lives daily.  Pastor Gainer believes she has been called to transform, equip, empower and prepare all souls for the soon coming King.  She believes that her ministry is a gift to be shared with others, therefore, allowing her deepest desire to see God’s kingdom expanded through the ministering of deliverance to the poor, brokenhearted and to his people everywhere. 

           

           Additionally, Pastor Gainer received her first pastoral charge at the 2016 West Central Annual Conference in Greensboro, North Carolina.  Through the leading of the Holy Spirit, Bishop George E. Battle appointed her as the Pastor of Savannah AME Zion Church in Lilesville, North Carolina.  Though her time was brief, the impact made was great.  Currently, Pastor Gainer has been appointed to Zion Grove AME Zion Church in Rutherfordton, North Carolina where her love for God is perpetually demonstrated in her love for the members.

           

            Lastly, Pastor Gainer also stands as an advocate for education.  She received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music Performance from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, as well as a second Bachelorette degree in Psychology from Guilford College.  In addition, Pastor Gainer received a Master of Divinity from the Hood Theological Seminary.  Thus, as the bible has instructed, she has studied to show herself approved.  This mighty woman has been touched by the hand of the Lord and continues to seek to fulfill purpose.
