Apostle Patricia A. Powell
Apostle Patricia A. Powell’s career within the nursing department of the Visiting Nurses Association is reflective of her compassionate heart. She spent many years caring for the elderly and those who were unable to care for themselves. Pat, as she is fondly known, joined Mount Sinai Holy Mission Church in March 1971. She served faithfully under the late Elder Viola Butts. It wasn’t until several years later, in 1989, that Apostle Powell accepted the call to preach God’s word and took on the title Missionary.
Her trial sermon was titled “It’s a Fearful Thing to Fall Into the Hands of An Angry God.” As her ministry began to flourish, Apostle Powell sharpened her knowledge, graduating from the Sussex County School of Theology with a degree in Theology. Nine years later, on September 26, 1998, at the Holy Convocation of Mount Sinai Holy Church of America, Inc., she was ordained an Elder and, in November, was installed as the Pastor of Mount Sinai Holy Mission Church.
God gave her a vision and a brand new name for the church. Apostle Powell introduced the ministry under a new name called Watch God Move Ministries, Inc. It is under this spiritual umbrella that we formed Watch God Move Christian Center and WGM Outreach Ministries, Inc. Apostle Powell became the President of WGM Outreach Ministries, Inc., in 2000. While overseeing her ministry, Apostle Powell was elected President of the Coverdale Community Council, Inc., in 2001.
During a time when pastors are deciding to relocate to safer communities and other areas with less crime, drugs, and violence, Apostle Powell, along with her congregation, stands as a pillar amidst adversity, refusing to abandon the community of Coverdale Crossroads, where her church is located. It is her belief that, as a Holy Spirit-filled believer, she must stay where the people are hurting. Additionally, her vision includes bringing individuals, churches, businesses, and organizations together in partnership to create a network of strength, love, and support for struggling families in the Coverdale Crossroads Community.
God has truly favored Apostle Powell. She remains faithful, humble, and focused on her divine calling. Apostle Patricia A. Powell is now living a life that will leave a legacy for all those who follow her. God has set her aside for this time and for this season. She is the warrior who is steadily conquering all the weapons that come against her.
If God be for her, who can be against her? As her life continues to blossom in doing the will of God, we who are alive and remain can stand with her and hold up the banner that proclaims, “Watch God Move!”
