If there’s one thing Apostle Charise Feaster knows, it’s the power of faith in action. Born and raised in Buffalo, New York, she has spent over two decades dedicated to the ministry, touching lives and transforming communities. From her early days singing in the Saint Marks Church Of God In Christ choir to stepping into her divine calling as an Apostle, her journey has been marked by resilience, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to God’s work. She officially embraced the Apostolic mantle in 2018, following years of preaching, teaching, and serving in various church leadership roles. Today, she stands at the helm of New Miracle Temple Of God Inc., leading with both authority and compassion.
A Ministry Rooted in Purpose and Healing
Apostle Feaster’s impact extends far beyond the pulpit. She has been a guiding force for women at Paradise House, a halfway home in Buffalo, teaching them to overcome adversity and step into their divine destinies. Her ministry is deeply rooted in healing and deliverance, helping people break free from spiritual and emotional problems and issues. Her journey hasn’t been without challenges—losing her mother in 2023 and facing personal storms only strengthened her faith. In August 2024, she reaffirmed her commitment by undergoing rebaptism, a powerful symbol of renewal. Through it all, she has remained steadfast in her calling, proving that true leadership is forged in both triumph and trial.
Strength in Partnership: A Powerhouse Couple
Behind Apostle Charise Feaster is a strong pillar of support—her husband, Presiding Prelate Apostle Elijah D. Feaster 3rd. Together, they are a powerhouse in the ministry, known as the “Demon Slayers,” leading spiritual warfare and proclaiming victory over the enemy’s strongholds. Their partnership extends beyond marriage into a shared mission of revival and restoration. With a combined family of 11 children, 38 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren, they embody what it means to lead by example, balancing ministry, family, and community outreach. Their commitment to United Body of Christ Fellowship aims to break denominational barriers and unify believers under one mission—building God’s kingdom.
A Vision for the Future: Rebuilding and Restoring
Apostle Feaster is on a mission to bring back the essence of old-time religion, where faith isn’t just preached but lived. She is preparing for the rebirth of New Life Covenant of Praise in Buffalo and spearheading efforts to create a network of ministries that work together in unity. Her belief is simple yet profound: Build the people, and they will build the church. Her signature phrase, “Get in position to be repositioned,” is more than just words—it’s a movement encouraging people to step into their God-given purpose.
A Legacy of Faith and Belief in God
Through every battle, Apostle Feaster has stood firm in her faith, never wavering from the mission set before her. Her story is one of perseverance, obedience, and an unshakable belief that God never throws you into the game without giving you the plays. Whether through mentoring, outreach, or preaching, she continues to inspire, uplift, and transform lives in Buffalo and beyond. With a heart for God and her ministry, she is not just leading a church—she is leading a movement.
