About Rev. Melissa

This is where it all began. Well, that is my relationship with Being, the Divine or God. Whatever you choose to call the experience of pure love and acceptance from an unseen feeling of consciousness. I remember from a very young age; prior to age 5 certainly, my maw (grandmother) opened the front door of her home on an early September morning. A light the color of pure white burst through the door frame. It covered the entire opening to the outside. I stood before it in awe. I was completely mesmerized by the invitation to cross the threshold into its sanctuary . . . the front porch.

And now as an ordained Interfaith Minister of 10+ years, I welcome you to join me on the Front Porch virtually and in person. My passion for Inter-spiritual work came out of a revelation that God is available to all of us; regardless of our particular spiritual practice. I have a deep desire to live and teach from a place of joy, kindness, and love. Qualities all the Master Teachers taught as necessary to bring about individual and collective peace in our communities and our world.

We will begin the ripple of God’s presence across our world by creating community, connection and culture together through spiritual book studies, classes, programs, and retreats.

My Credentials:

I hold a B.S. Degree from Florida State University in the field of Social Work.  I hold a Certificate of Ordination from One Spirit Interfaith Seminary in NYC, USA.

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.
