Dr. Lorena Ellis-Buckner

Evangelist Lorena Ellis-Buckner, a visionary, started a journey to achieve the fullness of Christ in her life over 45 years ago.  Born and raised in South Central Los Angeles, she had an opportunity to witness and be a part of some of the most trying times women have suffered to this time in the history of Los Angeles.  She traveled the road when women had no rights, were poverty stricken, suffered abuse, had no self worth and were limited in the understanding of God’s Word.  During those times, women found themselves force into the back seats of church administration and development.  As you look at and experience conditions at that time, you found that there was no plan for women.  No one considered women.  No one that is, but God who proved to be woman’s most reliable liberator and emancipator, through our Lord Jesus Christ.

          Early in her life, Evangelist Ellis-Buckner began to take on the burden of helping women.  One way was by making them understand that they were God’s little girls and as such were precious, beautiful and rare gems that were necessary.  They needed to understand that they were, indeed, essential to the Plan of God.

          Evangelist Ellis-Buckner set out to add to her credentials for this work by deepening her knowledge of God’s Word.   She studied and received certification under the leadership of the late Pastor J. L. Williams, of the Glorious Baptist Church in which she was the Elect First Lady.  The worth and value of the ministry of the Elect First Lady is recognized and esteemed in Churches across the land.

          Her credits include, but are not limited to, President of the Jr. Young Ladies Mission, Choir President and Director, Sunday School Teacher, B.T.U. Coordinator, Youth Director, and Women’s Mission & Ministry Director.  Evangelist Ellis-Buckner has established many women’s ministry groups that are still forging ahead in the work and name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Her involvement has included, The Sunshine Mission, a Skid Row Ministry for women.  Active participation with several Women’s Mental Institutions, Hospitals and Nursing Homes.  Wherever and whenever a need arises she has risen to the challenge.  She has tirelessly worked in whatever capacity she could to aid in the furtherance of God’s Kingdom.

          Lorena is a homemaker, who can always find time in her busy schedule for her husband Willie, who supports and believes in what she is doing.  Also, in the midst of this vision and work for God; Lorena had a successful career, and retired from Lockheed Aerospace, Inc.  She has raised 5 children and has 13 beautiful grandchildren; and (22) ​great grandchildren.  Her Motto is:  “If you take care of God’s Business, He will take care of yours.”​
​Currently Evangelist Ellis-Buckner covering is with The Hemet Ministry, (New Covenant Ministry) under the leadership of Pastor James Porter.  To her credit Lorena has attended several conferences sponsored by T.D. Jakes and Mentoring Ministry sponsored by Dr. Rita Womack. Lorena’s current vision is to continue to expand the message of women’s ministry and work to feed and clothes more of God’s children. In hopes of one day writing a book.  Lorena has over 45 years’ experience in Ministry, and has received The Degree of Honorary Doctor of Divinity for outstanding service in ministry.  Eph. 4:12.
