Cecelia E. GreeneBarr

Dr. Cecelia Evelyn GreeneBarr coined the title “Spiritual Engineer” to accurately describe her giftedness and prophetic approach when entering the lives of others. She is appreciated for the way in which she is able to put her finger on the pulse of a person’s needs and then bring them to the place of restoration.

Put another way, Dr. GreeneBarr can help you from throwing in the towel when your life looks showcase perfect, but inside, your big secret is a penetrating emptiness concealed by smoke and mirrors.

She knows what it's like to have a dream, goal, desire, with obstacles blocking my path. But she found the answer to accomplish her visions, and you can too. So allow her to share the process with you. You may think it too difficult but let her show you how to do difficult.

After earning her Bachelor of Science degree from North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University, Cecelia pursued a career in her field working for industrial engineering and manufacturing companies. She was enjoying the realization that her education matched with her chosen career provided when she heard Holy Spirit announce that God was inviting her to serve Him in ministry. It was a call to ministry and the beginning of her life as one of God's Prophets.

After that, everything shifted in her life, personally, professionally, and spiritually. Cecelia announced her call to the pastoral leadership of her local church and enrolled in seminary to ensure a solid theological understanding of the Bible. After graduating from Princeton Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity (with an emphasis on ethics), she began serving a local congregation preaching, teaching, and pre-marital counseling.

Cecelia also permanently changed careers leaving her former industry behind, but she took the engineering skillsets into full-time prophetic ministry. As God gives direction and foresight to Cecelia via dreams and visions, she has taken exacting steps to ascribe glory to God. She founded Sharing Faith Ministries, earned a Doctorate of Ministry in Transformational Leadership, began pastoral ministry in 2004 as Senior Pastor and years later as Founding Pastor, produced a weekly Christian television broadcast on MyTV20 in Michigan, and established the publishing company GreeneHouse Publishing Agency (formerly known as GreeneHouse LLC) in 2007.

In 1998 Cecelia accepted Theron's marriage proposal. By a miracle of God, she defied medical reports and birthed two children, both pursuing Bachelor of Science degrees in engineering. As engineers, we like to say that we are a family that solves problems, natural and spiritual.

In addition to ordained pastoral ministry, she is the author of Streaming Prayers: Dialogues with God, Guide My Feet: Ministry Transformed Through Mentoring, and contributing author in Faith of our Mothers, Living Still: Princeton Seminary Women Redefining Ministry, This is My Story: Testimonies and Sermons of Black Women in Ministry and These Sisters Can Say It: 15 Powerful Sermons from Contemporary African American Women Preachers. Dr. GreeneBarr is a Joe R. Engle Preaching Fellow, whose preaching delivers with verve.
