Evangelist Paulette P. Faulknor
Co-Pastor
First Lady Paulette Patricia Faulknor was born in St. Mary, Jamaica, West Indies. She accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior at age thirteen. As she grew and matured in her Christian walk, her Pastor detected her spiritual ambitions and selected her to work in several areas of the ministry. This includes but is not limited to being a member of the youth and adult choirs, youth leader and Evangelist. During this period, her singing, charm, and lady-like characteristics captured the heart of the District Youth President, Minister Lloyd L. Faulknor. In 1980, they were joined together in holy matrimony. This dynamic duo created four precious children: Kevin, Camille, Katerina and Carrece, and four grandchildren: Zuriel, Elias, Zemira, and Malachi.
Lady Faulknor is a pillar of strength to her husband, now Bishop Lloyd L. Faulknor, Presiding Prelate of the ACTS United Church Inernational, Inc. (AUCI). She has been the church’s administrator since its inception and the Sunday School Superintendent for nine years. She is the founder of Women of Virtue and Purpose (WOVAP), a group designed for the spiritual enrichment of young women ages nineteen through forty. In 2004, she was appointed to the office of Co-Pastor. With humility, she accepted the call and continued to minister with compassion.
She has also been an entrepreneur in the Computer Software Industry for over twenty years and a Real Estate agent for over eighteen years. She attended New York University Division of Business Management, Edward William College of Farleigh Dickinson University, and Morris County College.
She is extremely grateful to God for a praying mother, the late Mother Winnifred A. Thompson, and most of all for the spiritual stability and maturity she has obtained over the years. First Lady Faulknor identifies with the songwriter’s testimony, “Through many dangers toils and snares, I’ve already come; it was grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.” The FUTIM family is honored and blessed to have her as the First Lady and Co-Pastor.
