The founder of Inclusivity, Minister Lydia Preston, has been an integral participant of ministry since God called her at the age of 16.  She prepared and preached her very first message, "Check Yourself", about David (the sinner to the praiser).  Her initial message was the foundation of her spiritual walk, as she has never forgotten her roots progressing into a praise warrior.

 

      Minister Lydia, finally, answered her calling in 1991 and was ordained in Pennsylvania through the Church of God in Christ in 1992.  She relocated to North Carolina in 2009, where she became the Minister of Music at United Ministries in Christ (UMIC), Fayetteville, NC, under the leadership of Pastor Derrick Montgomery.  When UMIC joined with Blessed Family of God Church, Minister Lydia continued her duties and does so to this day with fervor and faithfulness.

 

       In February of 2010, God gave Minister Lydia a revelation that Fayetteville needed a community choir that would be open to all people regardless of race, gender, sex, sexuality, or church affiliation. She responded to that vision and immediately allowed herself to be the vessel for this vision. The seed was planted and the fruit thereof is Inclusivity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let everything that hath breath "Praise the Lord". We want to provide a safe haven for people to assemble and sing Praises unto God, without prejudice or discrimination. To bring forth spiritual and emotional healing for those who have been rejected, hurt or alienated by family, church, or society. To demonstrate God's perfect love in fellowship and song through inclusive praise and worship.
