Dr. Natalie A. Francisco has served as co-pastor of Calvary Community Church and co-founder of Calvary Christian Academy in Hampton, VA, alongside her husband, Bishop L. W. Francisco III. She has also served extensively in full-time ministry for over 26 years in areas of leadership in both the Music and Arts and Christian Education departments of her local church. The culmination of her years of experience in relating to women and children of all ages have been instrumental in affording her the opportunity to author three books: Wisdom for Women of Worth & Worship: Lessons for a Life of Virtue, Value & Victory; Parenting and Partnering with Purpose: Linking Homes, Schools and Churches to Educate Our Children; and A Woman’s Journal for Joyful Living: Successful Steps to Holistic Health (all published by St. Paul Press).
As founder and executive director of the Women of Worth Conference and the Women of Worth and Worship Institute (WOWWI), Dr. Francisco seeks to provide godly and practical instruction to women who desire to learn and implement biblical truths and principles from her life’s lessons. As a personal mentor and a consultant, she strives to equip others to excel in the areas of ministry, daily living and education. This is accomplished via her books, conferences, seminars, retreats, and several eight-week sessions held throughout the year on location as requested as well as online for registered participants across the country and around the world.
With over fifteen years of television experience alongside her husband, Dr. Francisco also is a contributor to the Shaping Families radio broadcast sponsored by Third Way Media. She offers pastoral insight and biblical solutions while addressing difficult, real life issues that families often face. The broadcast is aired weekly on thirteen radio stations nationwide and can also be heard online. Additionally, Dr. Francisco serves as director on various community and financial services boards, and as an advisory board member of Wisdom Women Worldwide founded by Dr. Suzan Johnson Cook.
Although Dr. Francisco has served as a motivational speaker, teacher, worship leader and author, her greatest joys are found in serving God, spending time with her family and friends, and practicing self-care.
