BIOGRAPHY
Pastor Melissa Harris was raised in a strong Christian home in the San Francisco Bay Area, and grew up in an area where the effects of homelessness, poverty and addiction were rampant. At a young age, Melissa began to sense the calling of God on her life to reach out to others with the power of His redeeming love.
After returning from Rhema Bible Training Center, she served in San Francisco shelters and soup kitchens, taught in a successful residential women's recovery bible study program, and served as a leader in youth and singles ministry. She has seen many men and women who were chemically addicted, involved in prostitution, domestic violence, and other forms of captivity, set free by the working of the Holy Spirit. Under her ministry, many have went on to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and become leaders in their churches and restored into their families.
Melissa has grown in her calling under the anointed ministries of Kenneth Hagin, Billye Brim, Lucy McKee, Mark and Brenda Thomas, and many others. As well as holding the position of Lead Pastor, she travels across the country and around the world, preaching the gospel, teaching at churches and conferences, revivals and youth meetings. Melissa's dynamic preaching style and passionate desire to follow the leading of God in every service stir people of all ages to yield their lives boldly and fully to His plan. It is her heart to motivate believers to walk intimately with the Person and Power of the Holy Spirit- that the Glory of the Lord might be revealed to this awakening generation as never before.
