Leader Bio:
Reverend Denise is originally from Anderson, Indiana. She moved to Arizona in 1991. She graduated from Ball State University with a degree in Accounting and later obtained her CPA license. During those accounting years, Denise found great interest in taking classes at Unity of Phoenix.
Each class was just so inspirational and soul filling that she kept taking classes till she finished the requirements to be a Licensed Unity Teacher.
Shortly after that, she received the Divine inspiration to become a minister. Reverend Denise went to Lola Mayes New Thought Seminary in Mesa and became an ordained New Thought minister in 2004. While keeping her accounting career as Controller at Barrow Neurosurgical Associates, she taught the Bible classes at the New Thought Seminary for three years and volunteered at Hospice of the Valley for many years. Also during this time, Reverend Denise served as a prayer chaplain and a Board member of Unity of Surprise.
She served as the Board President for three years and as the Board treasurer for three years. After being extremely busy for so many years, Reverend Denise decided to resign from her accounting career and to follow her passion for ministry. She initially pioneered her own church called The Light of Grace church.
However, when Reverend Billie, the pioneering minister of Unity of Surprise, decided to retire, Reverend Denise merged her church into the Unity of Surprise and accepted the job of senior minister of Unity of Surprise.
Reverend Denise has a great love of the Bible. She has study Charles Fillmore’s metaphysical interpretation of the Bible for the past eighteen years. This is truly her area of expertise.
Reverend Denise also has another passion in life which is dancing. She has taken ballroom dance lessons for several years. So when given the opportunity you will see Reverend Denise out on the dance floor having fun.
