Evangelist Penny Butler is a humble yet powerful servant of God whose mission is to edify, uplift, and guide souls into their God-given purpose. Spirit-led, compassionate, and purpose-driven, she carries a unique blend of spiritual depth, creative insight, and practical wisdom that strengthens believers and builds the Kingdom with excellence.
​
Her spiritual foundation was formed through years of faithful service at Emmanuel Assembly Church of the PAW, Inc., under the leadership of the late Pastor Annie Mae Woods and later District Elder Darryll Jackson. It was there that she was baptized in Jesus’ name, filled with the Holy Ghost, and called into ministry. This season served as a spiritual training ground where she developed discipline in sound doctrine, worship, and servant leadership.
​
During her time at Emmanuel Assembly, she served in numerous leadership and auxiliary capacities, including Sunday School Teacher, Usher Board Member, President of the Junior Missionaries, Praise and Worship Leader, and Youth Group Leader. She also established foundational ministries such as the Nursing and Photography Ministries and helped secure technological resources to equip youth with essential digital skills. These experiences shaped her heart for nurturing, teaching, and equipping God’s people.
Her time at Greater Morning Star sharpened her administrative excellence, strengthened her ability to build systems, and deepened her passion for empowering families, youth, and leaders. She also served faithfully through the Prayer Line Ministry and community outreach efforts, ministering to residents of rehabilitation centers, veterans’ programs, and senior communities.
​In 2024, after a season of prayer and divine preparation, Evangelist Butler and her husband, Pastor Edgar Butler Sr., stepped forward in obedience to God’s call and launched a new work. This ministry stands on the foundation of years of faithful service, spiritual training, and hands-on leadership cultivated through both Emmanuel Assembly and Greater Morning Star.
​
Today, she honors those foundations while embracing the fresh mandate God has entrusted to her and her husband to build a Christ-centered, Spirit-led ministry that uplifts families, strengthens believers, and impacts communities through love, truth, and sound biblical teaching.​
​
Evangelist Butler brings training in Biblical Studies, Digital Media, Technology, Program Management, and Data Analytics, equipping her to bridge spiritual and practical needs with wisdom and excellence.​
​She has been married for more than thirty years to Pastor Edgar Butler Sr. Together, they serve as a unified and visionary ministry team. They are blessed with two sons, Edgar Jr. and Joseph, and give God all glory for His faithfulnes.
