Evangelist Courtney E. Boyd
Evangelist Courtney E. Boyd is a dynamic woman of God, graced with an authentic voice to inspire others to embrace the transforming power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She is a preacher, teacher, innovator, spiritual mother, mentor, and confidant to women throughout the country.
Evangelist Boyd is the First Lady of the historic Mt. Zion Pentecostal Church located in Washington, DC., where she serves the people of God with joy and fervor. Before relocating to the Washington D.C. area, she served faithfully at The Empowered Church of God in Christ in St. Louis, Missouri where her father, Bishop Edwin C. Bass is the founding pastor. She committed
her service as the Minister of Music, Worship Leader, Ministry Team constituent, and a leader within the Women’s Ministry. In 2017, after several years of ministry in the local church, she was licensed as an Evangelist in the Eastern Missouri First Jurisdiction.
Now serving alongside her husband, her gifts and passions for real tangible ministry are
interwoven throughout various areas within and outside of the four walls of the church. She is a woman of prayer and wisdom with a deep desire to lead women to the feet of Jesus where their treasure, identity, and purpose are revealed.
Professionally, Evangelist Boyd successfully served several areas in the financial industry for over a decade. Moreover, she later dedicated her faithful service to the Christian private school sector in the state of Maryland. She has a B.A. in Business Organizational Studies from Fontbonne University in St. Louis, Missouri. Now serving in full time ministry, she has put her hand to the plow while loving and ministering to people from all walks of life.
She counts family as one of her most precious gifts. She is the devoted wife of Pastor Orin Boyd, Jr., and the mother of son, Kyng. Joyfully, her union with Pastor Boyd expanded her family circle to include a bonus daughter, Tishayln, and 4 beautiful grandchildren. Evangelist Boyd is a woman of wisdom with a fragrant personality. She loves the people of God and is committed to building his Kingdom by any means necessary. She counts it a
privilege and honor to serve in ministry. The focus of her mission is found in John 9:4; I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
