- Pastor Joann E. Allen is senior pastor and founder of Divine Habitation Ministries International in Henderson N.C., a ministry birthed from prayer and instruction from the Holy Ghost. She is a native of Henderson, and the proud mother of four daughters, Latasha, Latori, Courtney, and Jacqueline and two beautiful grandchildren: Elijah and Elise.
Pastor Allen understands the great responsibility of being a carrier of the “Word of God” and believes that one must “Study to show thyself approved”, so incorporating this principle into her life she has taken various classes from Shaw University, and also Duke University.
As a “Messenger of the Word” the apostolic mantle of Christ rest upon her as she teach and preach “kingdom principles”, giving insight to her listeners of who they are and Who’s they are.
Pastor Allen exemplifies the love of Christ everywhere she goes and shares His love with everyone that she meet’s. She is a “Servant Leader” who takes to heart the mandate of Christ, “Inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these My brethren, you have done it to Me”.
Her philosophy for life is, “No one can do everything, but everyone can do something”!

- We believe that God is a spirit, infinite, eternal and unchanging in his being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth.
- We believe there is one God, The God of The Holy Bible, the only true and living God.
- We believe that the Bible is the unadulterated word of God, unblemished, untainted and authorized by God.
- We believe in the salvation of mankind, and that the only way we can be saved, according to the Word of God, is by grace through faith alone; it is the gift of God. (Eph. 2:15)
- We believe in repentance, justification, sanctification and the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and Fire. (Rom. 5:1; St. John 17:17; 18:19; St. Matt. 3:11)
- We believe in the gifts of the Spirit, and that these gifts are in operation in the militant church. (I Cor. 1:8-11)
- We believe in water baptism by immersion, and that baptism is a sign to the world that we have entered into a covenant relationship with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. (St. Matt. 28:19)
- We believe in the ordination of Bishops, Elders, and Pastors.
- We believe in the Ecclesiastical offices of the Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. (Eph. 4:11)
- We believe in worship, fellowship, friendship, leadership, discipleship, and all should be done to the glory of almighty God.
- We believe in marriage, family, and the sanctity of the family. (Gen. 2:18-25; I Cor. 3:21)
- We believe Jesus shed His blood for the remission of sin. (Rom. 3:25)
- We believe in the divine healing as in the atonement. (Isa. 53:4-5; I Peter 2:24; James 5:14-16)
- We believe that the tenth is the Lord's and each member is required to pay their tithes (tenth) and offerings. (Mal. 3:8; I Cor.9:5-15)
- We believe that we should live according to the teaching of the word of God, as recorded in the Bible. We believe that we should conduct ourselves as becoming holy people of God, and refrain from participating in anything that would dishonor God or bring a reproach upon the church of God; and that we should dress ourselves in modest apparel according to the word of God. (I Tim. 2:9)
- We, moreover, under the unction and anointing of the Holy Ghost, do henceforth, engage in the sacraments and ordinances enacted by Christ, and practice: 1) Baptism (St. Matt. 28:19-20); and 2) Communion (I Cor. 11:23-34)
- In September, 2002, Pastor Joann E. Allen, while serving as senior pastor of Saint James Missionary Baptist Church (the church she was raised up in as a child), and entering into her second year of service there, heeded the voice of God. The Holy Spirit led her to "leave the familiar, and go to a place where I will show you; build Me a habitation where I can dwell, and where My people can experience being in My presence".
Through much prayer and obedience Divine Habitation Ministries, International (a non-denominational church) was birthed. DHMI is one of the fastest growing ministries in Vance County, North Carolina, bringing change and transformation to the lives of people.
DHMI has from its birthing devoted itself to taking sound biblical doctrine and the full Gospel of Jesus Christ beyond the confines of the four walls of the church structure to the 'hedges and highways.'
We have two mega community outreaches annually -- Summer Fest and Fall Fest, held at our city fairground. We also have outreach ministries such as the nursing home ministry, the Soup Kitchen (designed to feed the hungry), and Evangelism ministry in order to reach countless lives through the love of God and His life-changing power.
DHMI is a ministry that ministers to the whole family and meets them at their point of need. We seek out the oppressed and desolate to give them hope. We currently have 31 ministries operating and following the vision.
