Pastor Camesha L. Parrott

Elect Lady & Executive Pastor

Lady Camesha L. Parrott, a native of Columbia, is the Elect Lady of Rhema Word Restoration Ministries here in Columbia, SC where her husband, Bishop Carl D. Parrott, is pastor and founder. From the beginning of her life, working in ministry was passionately emphasized by her parents, family and friends. After receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost while a junior at Spring Valley High School, she went on to graduate and begin her collegiate career.  Ultimately, she received a Bachelor of Science degree from Limestone College in Charleston, South Carolina with a major focus of study in Counseling and Human Services.  The degree earned was inspired by a deep-rooted desire to better understand human nature and to enable her to work more effectively in ministry.  The experience that she has gained from Limestone has equipped her to better understand the souls that come unto God.
Lady Parrott has operated in almost every capacity of ministry with distinction, including church administration and youth ministry.  She has also been empowered by God to operate in Word Ministry, Praise & Worship, Ministry of Helps, and Governments.  She, actively, participates in community services and outreach, and has mentored in the Junior Achievement Program at St. Andrews Middle School in Columbia and has volunteered as a Reading Tutor for United Way of the Midlands.  She currently volunteers at Ridgeview High School and Harvest Hope Food Bank.  She has a passion for young people, especially single women, and often inspires and encourages them to know that with Christ, their lives can be enriched with incomparable favor and be overwhelmingly marked by excellence. God uses her in a unique way as she yields herself to Him for His service.  On February 28, 2021, Lady Parrott was installed as the executive pastor of Rhema Word Restoration Ministries, in which she leads all functional areas of ministry in the accomplishment of the church’s mission through administration and management.   Despite her busy schedule in this role as “Lady Pastor” in addition to working her entrepreneur business, Lady Parrott still finds the time to be a supportive wife and an outstanding mother to her three beautiful and talented children.
