Richelle Hines
I began my journey at Palmer initially through ESCM which was the catalyst God used to bring me to The Priscilla Institute where I graduated as part of Cohort 7 in 2012 with a Diploma in Pastoral Studies. Priscilla Institute is a program formerly offered through Palmer Theological Seminary, where I then went on to obtain my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Organizational Leadership from Eastern University. I am a returning Palmer Seminary student currently enrolled in the MDiv Program with a Spr ’25 expected graduation date.
I am an Ordained Minister and have served in various leadership roles over the last 30 yrs. In August 2018, I was elevated into the sacred work of Pastoral Ministry through Bethel Deliverance International Fellowship of Churches, Inc., Bishop Eric A Lambert, Jr., Presiding Bishop and the Late Elder Karen M. Rogers, Founder and Senior Pastor, to serve New Birth Praise and Worship Christian Church as Associate Pastor, where I served for five years.
I currently serve as Founder/CEO of These Three Ministry, Inc., established in 2022, a ministry that focuses on wholistic wellness by ministering to the mind, body, and spirit of those God has called our ministry to serve through biblical counseling, fitness and health awareness, and teaching and preaching of the Bible. In 2023, I partnered in ministry with Little Rock Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Steven T. Mack, Senior Pastor, where I serve as the Director of Inward Ministries, overseeing ministries that provide opportunities for members to strengthen their faith through small group Bible studies, prayer circles, discipleship programs, and pastoral care initiatives. In 2023, I published two devotional journals, “Well Said: Until the Well Runs Dry Journal” and “Outpouring from the WELL: WELLingUp as we REVUp”, both are available on Amazon.
As Moderator 2024-2025, I look forward to working alongside the Student Assembly “serving all with all to create the bonds of fellowship”. I have had the opportunity to serve on the Student Assembly as Treasurer 2023-2024. I had the esteem privilege and honor to be named the inaugural recipient of the Albert F. Campbell Endowed Scholarship in 2023. I have served as President of Diamond State Pearls Incorporated, a nonprofit organization 2021-2023. I am a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc, currently serving as Chaplin for Sigma Zeta Omega Chapter since 2022. I am a member of Fellowship of Women Clergy since 2012 and have the privilege of currently serving on the Advisory Team since 2022. I am a member of the National Association of Parliamentarians, where I currently hold the office of Treasurer for the Parliamentarians of Kent County Delaware. Most importantly, I love the Lord and count it a privilege to serve God’s people in whatever capacity is needed for the Kingdom. I look forward to meeting, engaging, and serving our student body.
