Prophetess Brenda Pearson
 On November 18, 1974, at the tender age of 21, Brenda Pearson accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior at Faith Deliverance Center under the leadership of Pastor Dorothy Smith.  1975, through her dedication to the Lord and vision of the church, she was “called" into the ministry.
 In 1981, Apostle Hugh Carmichael ordained Minister Pearson "Prophetess".  They left their home in New Haven and were sent to Faith Tabernacle Deliverance Center located at 525 Gillespie Street in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where her husband presided as the Pastor.  This would prove to be a wilderness experience for Prophetess Pearson and her family.  For the next two and a half years they would have to endure all types of obstacles, but through it all their battle cry was "Faith In God".  Their faith was tested, and they had to make some tough choices.  One tough choice they had to make was whether to close down the church or give up their home and move into the back of the church so that the ministry could continue.  Because Prophetess Pearson and her husband Virges trusted God, they gave up their home in Lake Point and moved into the church.  Through it all they continued to walk by faith and never complained. 
In 1984, God called Prophetess Pearson and her husband out to begin Charity Church The Church That Christ Built Inc.  The ministry started from a house-to-house fellowship and has grown into what you see today by the grace of God. 
During the same time of building a sanctuary for Charity Church, God was also building the Woman of God.  Behind the scenes, Prophetess Pearson held steadfast to her faith in God.  While her husband was busy handling the affairs of the church, she was busy maintaining the affairs of their home where she established a wholesome environment as a strong, caring mother, raising their children, and a virtuous woman fulfilling her duties as a wife for her husband.  Truly Proverbs 31 is illustrated in her life and it illuminates the very essence of her spiritual walk in the Lord.  Her contributions to the ministry have been phenomenal.  She continues to be a role model for the women of Charity Church to emulate.  She is the "First Lady Of All First Ladies!"
