VISIONARY & SENIOR PASTOR

Sherri Y. Etheridge

Apostle Sherri Y. Etheridge is an end-time preacher and teacher of the Word, with an old-school flair, yet maintaining a progressive edge. She has served in several ministry capacities over the years, including the pastorate, as evangelist/revivalist (ministering throughout the United States and overseas), teacher, lecturer, seminar, and conference host, helps ministries, mentor, and earlier in ministry as choir director, and praise and worship leader.

Apostle Etheridge is anointed with the five-fold ministry gifts according to Ephesians 4:11, “and he gave some apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers.” Having served many powerful praying leaders and apostolic mentors, the mantle of prayer has been bestowed upon her, and as a woman of prayer she has also been gifted and anointed as a warrior and intercessor. She loves God and His people and works diligently in the Kingdom to help bring others to their fullest potential. This mantle of prayer and her love for God’s people led her to establish “The Gathering” an inter-denominational Annual Youth Conference (launched in SC, now in NJ), Be Ye Steadfast Ministries International Inc., Be Ye Steadfast Ministries International (the church), Be Ye Steadfast Ministries International Covenant Fellowships, The Ministry of Impartation, SEtheridge Ministries and Be Ye Steadfast Ministries International Leadership & Adjutancy Academy.

As a veteran of kingdom business with over 40 years of experience in ministry, Apostle Etheridge generously shares her expertise through teaching, nurturing and gentle firmness in foundational truth. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree (B.Th) in Theology and a Master’s Degree in Religious Education (M.R.Ed) from Christ Theological Seminary, under the auspices of His Eminence, The Late Abuna His Sovereign Grace, Archbishop Dr. Herman R. Cannady, Jr. She also received honors, as well as, induction into Eastern Theological Consortium’s Academician of the Consortium (A.E.T.C.). Apostle Etheridge continually endeavors to be the servant of the Lord Jesus Christ utilizing the wisdom and word of the Lord that has been entrusted to her, holding to the truth that love is the foundation of all things, for without it, effective ministry is not obtainable.

Apostle Etheridge has risen through the ranks, by God’s design. She is an anointed Prophet and Evangelist, was ordained and installed as Pastor, consecrated an Overseer, later consecrated to the sacred office of Bishop and affirmed an Apostle in the Lord’s church; every elevation was under the auspices of her Bishop and Apostle, Dr. Marvin E. Smith, Seed of Faith Ministries International, Dunn, NC. Apostle Etheridge currently oversees two churches and several ministries across NY, NJ, CT and GA.

“So now, beloved ones, stand firm, stable, and enduring. Live your lives with an unshakable confidence. We know that we prosper and excel in every season by serving the Lord, because we are assured that our union with the Lord makes our labor productive with fruit that endures.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 TPT
