Women of Faith

Began in 2006, Women of Faith is led by our First Lady, Evangelist Barbara McDonald. Women of Faith provides a safe, supportive environment for women to build a closer relationship with Jesus Christ. Starting at age 13, we meet women right where they are to encourage, support, and equip them for service in the Kingdom of God.

An integral part of our mission at EST International Ministries, Women of Faith conduct every 5th Sunday service. On 5th Sundays, all members and attendees are encouraged to to wear the Women of Faith colors - purple and white.

Formed in 2011, The Lord’s Anointed has earned a reputation for a complex, diverse sound that defies categorization. Their musical influences include gospel, jazz, old school funk, neo-soul, and more. Following the release of their self-titled EP that same year, the band has performed all over the country. TLA has been featured onstage with Dr. Bobby Jones, Vickie Winans, and a host of others. In 2017, the band released their first studio album, Mind, Body, Soul. The band can be seen ministering weekly as EST International Ministries praise and worship team.
