Her parents' most prize possession, the most radiant star of her husband's heart….she is the family's bulwark of strength. This priestly preaching princess, Tarsha Jefferson, though liked by all, is more importantly favored by God. Teaching the word of God with precision and clarity as she listens and adheres to God's voice has now become second nature to Elder Jefferson. She began preaching at the age of 19 as she got her start in ministry at Mt. Pisgah Missionary Baptist Church. She is a 1996 graduate of Bessemer City High School. After high school she went on to further her education at Gaston College where she majored in Paralegal Studies.
Now that she has been preaching for nearly 12 years, her most keen desire is "for women to be an example of what a Holy Woman looks like." Jefferson, a native of Gastonia, NC received her ministerial licensure in October of 1998. A year later she was ordained into the Missionary Baptist Association. Upon further matriculation in ministry, she was ordained in Life Center Ministries Fellowship Inc. as an Elder in the Lord's Church in 2004.
She and husband, Elder Nate' M. Jefferson, both pastor-Life Center Ministries - in Columbia, SC. Lady Jefferson is the Co-Founder and Editorial Director of Above Rubies Magazine. She is also the founder of Women of Compassion, which is geared to mentor women into being an example of what a Holy Woman looks like. Lady Jefferson and Her husband partner together to impact marriages across the USA through their own personal Marriage Ministry called “Sacred Heart”. Tarsha also partners with WBBP 1480 AM Radio station in Memphis TN for “Empowerment Wednesday's” with an encouraging word. Together Pastor and Lady Jefferson are rearing three beautiful children, Talysha, Chase and Lauryn. Elder Tarsha Jefferson is a holy, righteous, virtuous vessel for the Lord and a radical praiser whose life is best characterized by this scripture: "Oh bless our God ye people and make the voice of his praise to be heard" (Psalm 66: 8). tarsha@aboverubiesmag.com
