TONYA Y MITCHELL 

Apostle Tonya Y. Mitchell is a woman who is dedicated to the things of God.  She is a native of Washington,DC, but currently resides in the State of Maryland. She is married to a wonderful man of God, Pastor James Mitchell and they share six wonderful children together (Jamia, Jasmine, Jameka, Imani, Kiyani & Tyruhn) and two grandsons:Khalil and Carter and one granddaughter, Jordyn.

In 1993, Apostle Mitchell knew that God was calling her into the ministry, even though at that time she wasn't ready to accept the call. However, to prepare for her calling she began to study the Word of God intensely between 1993-1998. It was during that time that God allowed Apostle Mitchell and her spiritual parents, Dr. Robert "Shine" and Dr Dee Dee Freeman of the Save the Seed Ministry to connect spiritually. Great deliverance and impartation took place during that time.

In 1999 she was led of the Lord to join Pastor Richard and Rev. Carolyn as they launched out to birth the Ministry of the Cross Church. It was under that ministry that she was licensed and ordained.

Apostle Mitchell was installed as a pastor by the late Bishop Diana L Dunn and on November 2, 2003 Nothing But The T.R.U.T.H. Ministries-A Church of Deliverance & Discipleship opened it doors. T.R.U.T.H stands for Total Reliance Upon The Holy Spirit.  It is her desire to depend upon the Holy Spirit to order her footsteps as well as the footsteps of those whom He has given her to Pastor.  She strives to be a living example of Christ’s teachings by exemplifying what it is to be Christ-like. 


Apostle Mitchell loves to study the word of God as a result she attended New Life Community School of Ministry and Bible Institute and received her Masters Degree in Religion in June of 2006. 

She is also the Dean and founder of The Equipping Center, a ministry training certificate program for ministry leaders that caters to the practical and spiritual needs of those called to ministry. 

Apostle Mitchell is also an author of two great  books. WHY DO I KEEP FALLING? is a book of deliverance for those dealing with different areas of sexual immorality. And ORDER IN THE CHURCH is an apostolic work to bring back alignment to the Church.


As a woman called to the pastorate, she is fully aware of some of the obstacles that will come her way. However, when you know that you are called by God nothing can stop you from doing His will. She is a powerful woman of God who operates in a strong Apostolic/Prophetic anointing.

Apostle Mitchell affectionately known as ATM was affirmed as an Apostle on November 5, 2016, by her apostolic father, Chief Apostle Dr J Lemuel Spence. He is the presiding prelate of Word Harvest International Fellowship of Churches.
