Our Guest Preacher Bishop Fisher’s call to ministry came at the age of 16. Though her roots were in the Methodist Episcopal Church, the affirmation for her ministry as an ordained clergy member came through The King’s Apostle Holiness Church of God. In this church, she served as National Evangelist, and was the first woman to be ordained. During these years, she also taught in the public school systems of Virginia and Maryland. Her journey brought her back to the church of her birth, and in 1988 she was ordained a deacon and in 1990 an elder in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference of The UMC. Bishop Fisher served St. Daniel’s UMC in Chester, PA, and Sayers Memorial UMC in Philadelphia. From 1994 to July 2000, she served as district superintendent of the Mary McLeod Bethune District, and during her tenure on the district, was twice appointed dean of the cabinet.
