Pastor Wiggins has been in the ministry for 20+yrs. She was saved and filled with the Holy Ghost at the age of 11. Knowing that there was a Prophetic call upon her life, God used her even in her youth, to lay hands and cancer was healed, and countless numbers of young people gave there life to the Lord. God used her to Prophesy many into there Destiny. She was raised at the feet of the old mothers of the church and learned how to stand in the gap and lay before the Lord.

She started in the Church Of Our Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith Inc. but, in 1986 she became a member of Grace Cathedral Church Of God In Christ under the leadership of then Elder Sammy C. Smith her spiritual father. Shortly, therafter she was called into the ministry and was licensed as a aspiring missionary, then as a Deconess Missionary under Bishop Johnny James Johnson and Mother Willie Mae Rivers the National Supervisor of Women for the Churches of God in Christ.

She moved to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 1991, where she joined Mount Calvary C.O.G.I.C. under the leadership of Superintendent D.R. Gilmore in, 1997-98 Superintendent Gilmore recommended her for licensing thus in 1998 she was licensed as an Evangelist Missionary under the late Bishop Ozro Thurston Jones Jr. and Mother Lenora James, former Supervisor of Women for the Commonwealth Pennsylvania Jurisdiction C.O.G.I.C. being lead by God to move to Maryland in 1999, she joined Restoration Church Of God In Christ.

In October 2002, she was ordained as an Elder in the Lord's Church. On June 10th, 2006 Pastor Wiggins earned her PhD in Christian Education, Pastoral Studies and Biblical Studies from Agape Bible College and University in Birmingham, Alabama. In October 2006 Pastor Wiggins had hands laid on her and was ordained by her spiritual father and Mother, Bishop I.V. and Lady Bridget Hilliard. In 2007, God called her into the office of the Apostle and God is continuing to catapult her into higher heights and deeper depths. Whatever you want to call her Prophetess, Pastor, Doctor, or Apostle, she most prefers to be called a servant of the most high God.
