first lady brenda gail White

First Lady Brenda Gail White is a Louisiana native, raised in the state of Texas. After graduating from Beaumont Charlton Pollard High School in Beaumont, Texas, she joined the United States Air Force and served her country for 8 years. While stationed at Castle Air Force Base in California, she represented the base as Ms. Castle and was voted Ms. Congeniality by the pageant participants. It was during this reign that she met the love of her life, her husband: the now Rev. Dr. Craig E. White, Sr. Through this union, three beautiful children were born, Craig Jr. (CJ), Anngelica Grace (Angel), and Brendan Paul.

Sis. White stands unwaveringly in support of her husband and his ministry.  She believes that her first priority in ministry is to her husband and children. Her true calling is the Homefront. As a wife and mother, she desires to participate in the Spiritual Formation of the Bethany women by being a strong example of a godly woman who teaches, encourages, challenges, inspires, motivates, and stimulates others to become devoted to the Will of God.

Also, in an effort to better serve the entire congregation of Bethany, our first lady is presently pursuing a Leadership and Ministry degree from Ohio Christian University and will be graduating with a bachelor’s degree in the Spring of 2020. Along with pursuing an education, First Lady Brenda is an Independent Business Owner with the multibillion-dollar company, Market America/Shop.com through which she has provided the Church with its own shopping web portal that allows the membership to convert spending into earning as they shop. www.shop.com/bethanyatl

Since childhood, she has been very active in the church.  She has served as a Choir member, Public Speaker, Women’s Ministry teacher, Sunday School teacher, VBS Director/teacher, Performing Artist, and in various committees and ministries. Sis. White is supportive, assertive, approachable, caring, fun loving, and down-to-earth.  She loves and connects well with the multigenerational congregation of Bethany. Her coining the hashtag #IAmBethany was in an effort to encourage the Body to be so closely knitted together that one part cannot function without the others.

First Lady Brenda wants to be known as a Contagious Christian who loves and obeys the Lord and inspires others to do the same.
