About Our Pastors

Apostle-Elect Barry J. Henson

Overseer Barry J. Henson is a native of Queens NY.  At a very young age, it was apparent that he loved the Lord and there was a calling on his life.  For over 25 years, Pastor Barry has served faithfully in many capacities of ministry such as crusade choir member, youth choir director, youth supervisor, praise & worship leader, armor bearer, or wherever there was a need.             

In 2005, Pastor Barry was licensed as minister of the Gospel and in June 2013 he was ordained as an Elder in the Lord’s Church by Apostle Harold Williams & Prophetess Jonniece Williams at Shekinah City of Praise where he served as the Chruch Administrator and assistance to Apostle Harold & Lady Jonniece Williams & oversaw the ministry of helps and youth ministry at Shekinah City of Praise. On December 7, 2013 he was installed as Pastor of Shekinah City of Praise. After much prayer and fasting, Pastor Barry was led to launch The Life Center International in April 2014 and was installed as Pastor by His Father in the Gospel, Bishop Jeffrey L. White the Presiding Prelate of Temple of Praise International Fellowship where he is the Pastor and Founder.  In December 2018 he was consecrated to the office of Overseer.  He is aware that the Lord has blessed him and caused him to touch so many people’s lives as well as many people to touch his life.  To God be the glory for all the things He has done in His life.

Prophetess Felicea Henson

As native of Jacksonville, Florida, a servant of the Lord Most High, it was evident that Felicea had a destiny to fulfill in the Lord.  In her mid 20’s, Elder Felicea had a Damascus Road experience where God told her that she had to make a decision to completely follow Him.  From that day forward, her life would never be the same. Elder Felicea currently serves as the Executive Pastor at The Life Center International Hagerstown, MD under her husband, Overseer Barry J. Henson.  She is also the President of Divine Women of Purpose.  Her passion and compassion for people extend well beyond the four walls of the church.  Elder Felicea is a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor of Science & Nursing and works for the Washington County Health Dept.

She is a devoted mother of five beautiful children and grandmother of six.  She understands the importance of hearing the voice of God and moving when He says move.  Her model scripture is Isaiah 40:31”But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint”.
