For over 46 years, Pastor Parris has ministered faithfully alongside her husband, using her sense of humor and transparency about life’s difficulties to bring encouragement and hope to others.
Seventeen years ago, Pastor Parris founded Mary’s Song Restoration Center, a Christ-centered residential program for women of all ages who are overcoming addiction, trauma, and life-controlling issues. Her heart for restoration has helped countless women find healing, purpose, and a new life in Christ.
Pastor Parris has also contributed extensively to Victory’s teaching and writing ministry. Alongside Pastor Frank, she co-authored The Wonder of Christ at Advent and a commentary on the Book of John, and together they write a daily devotional blog called “Fisherman.” Through these writings, she continues to share deep spiritual insight, biblical wisdom, and personal reflections that encourage believers around the world.
Pastor Parris and Pastor Frank have four grown children who are now raising families of their own. They are blessed with several grandchildren and treasure every opportunity to gather for holidays, celebrations, and special moments.
She and Pastor Frank also share a love for the great outdoors—biking, traveling, swimming, and golfing whenever possible.
Pastor Parris often says her greatest challenge is pursuing that “gentle and quiet spirit,” yet her life continues to radiate the grace, joy, and strength of a woman transformed by the presence of Jesus.
