Reverend Sharon Mitchell

Reverend Sharon W. Mitchell began her ministry of service at the young age of 14 and, by 16, was already involved in street ministry and missions. Her passion for service and teaching the Word of God to those incarcerated ignited her calling. Early on, she recognized that God had uniquely gifted her to teach, and from that moment, she committed herself to serving God through various ministries.

Reverend Mitchell earned her undergraduate degree in Social Work and Public
Administration from Shaw University and continued her education at North Carolina State University, pursuing a Master's in Social Work. Currently, she is attending Liberty University Seminary, working toward her Master of Divinity (MDiv). With 35 years of experience as a social worker in the Triangle area, she has worked with individuals and families experiencing homelessness, mental health disorders, physical disabilities, substance use disorders, and those formerly incarcerated.

She is deeply committed to making a difference in her community, especially for
homeless families. Her love and respect for individuals facing homelessness
drive her dedication to serving one family at a time.

​

Throughout her career, Reverend Mitchell has served in various roles, including social worker, teacher, counselor, life skills facilitator, support group facilitator, racial reconciliation group leader, mentor, trainer, and advocate for social justice. She has worked as a field placement supervisor and served on several advisory boards, including the School of Social Work Advisory Board and Service Advisory Board.
 

In ministry, Reverend Mitchell’s journey has taken her across many roles, including Evangelistic Team Member, Street Ministry Leader, Prison Ministry Leader, Bible Study Teacher, Intercessory Prayer Team Member, Gospel Choir Director, Sunday School Teacher, Deacon, Youth Ministry Leader, Church Council Member, Praise Team Leader, and Pastor.  Her gifts continue to open doors, as described in Proverbs 18:16: “A man's gift makes room for him and brings him before great men.”
 

Above all, Reverend Mitchell is most proud of two things: being a vessel for God's use and being the loving mother of three beautiful daughters: Ashleigh (and Son-in-Love, Dexster), Alyson, and Aaliyah. Her family continues to be a source of joy, support, and inspiration in her ministry and work.
