A woman of integrity, grace and excellence are just a few characteristics of First Lady Stacey Leontine Woods. She was born to the late Bishop L. A. Kennedy and Lady Ann Kennedy in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She is the second child of four siblings – three girls and one boy. She moved to Houston, Texas in 1972, when her dad heard the voice of God to relocate the family. While moving to Houston was her greatest fear, it turned out to be one of her greatest moves in life. On August 20, 1983, she married the love of her life, Pastor Lawrence E. Woods, and they had two handsome sons, DeLawrence (Courtney) and Brandyn Woods (Aisha). Added to their family were beautiful granddaughters, Jayda Woods & Caley Woods, and handsome grandsons Caleb, Easton, and Elijah Woods.
Lady Woods has operated in a ministry of excellence for over 30 years under her dad, Bishop Dr. L. A. Kennedy's leadership, and she's also observed the graciousness of her mother, Lady Ann Kennedy who has walked circumspectly as a first lady and a true woman of God before her. Because of her parent's rearing and direction, Stacey has dynamically served in such areas as the Mass Choir, Ministers & Deacons Wives, and the Praise Dance Ministry. Along with her now being the First Lady, she also currently serves as the Church's Administrator, as well as a New Member Orientation Teacher. Whatever the task, Lady Woods can be found being about the Father's business in the ministry. Her experiences in church protocol, genuine spirit of love and unity, and natural leadership abilities has afforded her a marvelous opportunity to make a powerful impact on the lives of God's people to help bring to pass the vision set forth by her husband.
On September 19, 2010, at the pastoral installation of her husband, her awesome journey to fulfill God's purpose in her life began. As this new chapter comes alive, First Lady Woods, God's servant of impeccable style and grace, is walking in victory and ushering the body of believers into the abundance of next level living: a level full of love and prosperity through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Together, Pastor Lawrence and First Lady Stacey Woods are creating a place where Strangers can become friends, Friends can become family, and Family can become true disciples who are enlightened to make a difference!
