About Us

  Her Foundation and Ministry

Dr. Tonya M. Holmes is a native of Charleston, South Carolina. At the early age of 12, she was converted, and at the age of 13, she received the Holy Ghost during a youth revival at the Charleston Temple Deliverance Tabernacle of America, Inc. under the auspices of Bishop George K.  Baxter. At the age of 15, she preached her first sermon, and in 1984 she was appointed as Junior Pastor over the youth church where she also ran her first revival during that year. From her spiritual development, God has allowed her to travel throughout South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, and Maryland preaching the unadulterated Word of God.

Her Calling

In 1988, this awesome jewel accepted the call to Evangelism and was appointed as Elder and Pastor of Latter House Ministries, International. Years transpired and as the Lord saw fit, Pastor Holmes began seeking the face of the Lord for His children. The Lord heard her prayers, saw her tears, and like Daniel, the answer was released.

Her Service 

Pastor Holmes’ vision is to bring a change in people's lives who have been ostracized, criticized, abandoned, abused, and rejected, and to eliminate homelessness in our communities. The Lord divinely connected Pastor Holmes with Pastor (now Dr.) J. L. Flowers, Flowers Ministries, Inc./Shepherd Mission House, of Charlotte, NC, who would coach her in birthing her vision. Through this affiliation and over the years, she has counseled women, children, and families in providing and managing transitional houses for the homeless, fed those who were hungry, stood in courtrooms to plead on behalf of families who were misrepresented by the law, and provided counseling for those in need overall.

Pastor Holmes was educated in the public school system of Charleston, SC, and a graduate with honors in Office Automation from Mansfield Business College.  

In the latter years, she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies and a Master’s in Christian Counseling. 

In 2021, she received her Doctoral Degree in Christian Counseling from FMI Biblical Studies & Seminary of where she currently serves as an executive and professor.
