Welcome Minister Managerrie Winston!

She comes to us from Houston, Texas where she currently serves as Associate Pastor of Youth and Family Connections for First Christian Church Houston. In addition to that call, she also coordinated Diversity and Outreach Education for Gulfcoast Regional Blood Centers. At both the church and center, Managerrie increased their participation levels in notable ways. As a commissioned minister, she has demonstrated leadership that is congregational, communal, and intersectional.

Her expertise as a licensed teacher, certified in Journalism grades 7-12 and Business Education grades 6-12, informs her approach to reaching diverse learners. As Curriculum Developer for Blanson Career and Technical Education High School, Managerrie designed learning practices to help students through social challenges related to the pandemic.
