PASTORS

God has given me two incredibly distinguished, godly men to govern my life through prayer. I am thankful, grateful, and blessed. My life has been profoundly impacted by the spiritual guidance of my father, Bishop William Rogers, and my father-in-law, Apostle Elbridge Lock. Both men are a true inspiration to the community. After dedicating over 55 years of their lives to serving others, they both have been honored with an honorary street sign, as the founder and senior pastor of their churches in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Their individual and collective impact on the community will never be forgotten.

​

We are proud to celebrate their legacy. These two amazing Pastors had an enormous influence on the community in the City of Milwaukee. Their churches are well-respected and have helped countless individuals and businesses within the city. Godly wisdom had guided their lives. I am so grateful and feel very blessed they were in my life.

Hello everyone! And good day to talking toddlers, kids that can read, and teenagers wearing jeans. You can find all of my books here or on Amazon.com. Thank you for joining me. 
   My story begins as a Pastor's Kid (P.K.). I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Growing up in a household of twelve was a blessing for me. My Christian family includes my mother, father, and ten children. In the great city of Milwaukee, my father served as senior pastor for over fifty years.
   On July 7, 1966, I married the handsome Minister Cal Edward Lock, Sr., who was also a "Pastor's Kid" from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His father was his senior pastor, Apostle Elbridge Lock of Unity Gospel House of Prayer. Together, Cal and I raised five children, all of whom grew up to marry fellow Christians.
​​   I love Bible stories and the Lord Jesus Christ, just as my godly parents, Bishop William and Anna Ruth Rogers, do. I am now a published author, a mother, a grandmother, Hanny, and a great-grandmother. My books are designed to engage and captivate readers of all ages and backgrounds.
