Life Instructor and Ministry Leader

For the past thirty years, Maxine Wright has ministered to battered teens and housed individuals overwhelmed by life's challenges. In 2017, Maxine founded Open Arms House of Love, a home-gathering church fellowship dedicated to providing comfort and counseling based on God’s Truth, one person at a time. She believes that true ministry is in the field where people are in need of guidance, compassion and love. She has found tremendous joy in helping to shape the lives of her nieces and nephews particularly on a spiritual level. 

Maxine Wright grew up in a Christian home in Newark, New Jersey. She received her early Christian development at The Glorious Church of God in Christ; under the leadership of her aunt, Pastor Minnie Mason. She was Baptized in the Holy Spirit at the age of 13. 

​

In 1981, she relocated to Pennsylvania, where she was a choir director and mentor to young girls. Maxine received formal ministry training in 1999, at Abundant Life Church. She was ordained as an Elder in 2004 at True Worshipers Ministry, where she served as Director of Woman’s Ministry, Worship Leader and Director of Christian Education.

​

Since 2016, she has continued to serve family and community under the direction of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the oversight of Pastors Chris and Carol Green and Fruitful Life; where she earned a Certificate of Completion in Fruitful Life's Community Care-Ready™ Responder training, and completed several Fruitful Life Leadership Development courses.

It is our honor to acknowledge and provide ordination and covering for her many years of serving in her ministry appointment as a pastor and teacher, as well as her ministry role as a mature elder and overseer in the Body of Christ.
