Prime Time Pastor
Margaret was ordained in the Church of the Nazarene in 1993 on the Southwest Oklahoma District. Oklahoma provided the opportunity for Margaret to serve as a Senior Pastor for several years. This opportunity also led to beginning a local food pantry, which incorporated the assistance from the other local churches. Margaret was also able to begin an active ministry at a local work-release program which prepared inmates to be more able to adapt to life once they were released from incarceration. Margaret was trained and approved to pick up inmates who wanted to attend church and was able to assist them in their spiritual growth. Some of the families of the inmates would drive for hours each Sunday to attend church with their children.
Margaret left the Pastoral ministry to pursue Chaplaincy and worked as Hospital Chaplain for more than two years. During this time, Margaret completed her Bachelor of Science degree at Friends University. Most recently (2021), Margaret completed her Master of Divinity at Nazarene Theological Seminary.
Margaret has a mode of operation for ministry that goes like this: “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as you can.” (Attributed to John Wesley) She ministers to others in her apartment complex as well as teaching Bible study in that setting. She asks the Lord how to minister to others in ways that are not seen as typical ministry. Her goal is to faithfully serve her Heavenly Father daily.
