Letricia Greenwade

Born in Niagara Falls, New York and raised in Terre Haute Indiana, Letricia Joyce Greenwade married John Wesley Greenwade Jr. in September 1970, graduated from Indiana State University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Education in 1971, moved to California in the same year, where she began her teaching career in October 1972. In 2003, she earned her Master of Arts Degree in Education (Curriculum and Instruction). The Lord gave her a joy for teaching and after, serving the students and community in the Bonita Unified School District for 36 years with dedication and commitment, she retired in June 2008.

The oldest of eight living siblings, Pastor Greenwade, also known as Sister Tree, knows that God has smiled on her and believes that all good gifts come from the Lord. God’s blessings make her rich and add no sorrow in her life. He has blessed her with a wonderful husband of 43 years, a godly man and an ordained deacon who has been faithfully serving the church since 1996; one remarkable son, a devoted daughter, an adorable daughter-in-law, two adorable granddaughters, several amazing godchildren, and a host of family and friends whom she values and cherishes.

She answered the call to salvation and discipleship in 1972, committed her life to Jesus Christ in 1975, became a licensed missionary in 1985, and received her calling into the ministry of evangelism in 1987. The late Bishop W. J. McMillian, founder of Christ Sanctify New Testament Church located in Ontario, California, ordained her as an evangelist in 1988. After serving as a missionary and evangelist, Overseer and Pastor Mary L. McMillian, co-founder of Christ Sanctify New Testament Church, appointed her as a pastor, and in 2005 Bishop A. Ferguson, founder of Tree of Life Outreach Ministries International, ordained her as a pastor. She has been a member in good standing at Christ Sanctify New Testament Church since 1985 where she has faithfully served her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Knowing that without faith it is impossible to please God, and that without Jesus Christ she can do nothing, Pastor Greenwade strives to please Him so that He will get the glory out of her life. She wants to hear Jesus say, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”
