ELDERS
Elder Sharon M. Stewart was raised in a God-fearing home by her mother Susan Briddell. The principles instilled by her mother, combined with the teaching she received at the Tindley Temple United Methodist Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, allowed Sharon to have a very strong Christian foundation. She received her salvation at a Billy Graham crusade.
Sharon later joined Rock of Ages Holy Church with her husband Minister Charles E. Stewart, under the leadership of Pastor Raymond Walker, Jr. Joining Rock of Ages allowed Sharon to experience God on a new level. She mentored by Mother Inez Tisdale and Evangelist Gloria Thomas, Sharon began her quest to become, ‘God’s Woman’. Through the years Sharon has also served and been influenced by the leadership of Elder Eunice Goode and Pastor Darrell Parham, Sr. Her consistently has positioned Sharon to become a respected vessel, ready for use, walking in the gifts and anointing entrusted to her by God. In obedience to God, Sharon united with her son, Pastor Damian C. Stewart, to aid in birthing Kingdom Worship Center Church in 2007. Ordained an Elder in the Body of Christ, Sharon sows into the destiny of many and is the 'rock' of her family.
