Marsha Plumbtree grew up in church and as a child always knew that God had big plans for her.  As a single mom of four wonderful children twins Kaylyn and Krystyn and two sons Justin and Joey, she found herself at a place where seeking a genuine relationship with God was the biggest desire she had.  After visiting the various churches in the local OKC area she found her home at Believers Church.  She has been with Believers Church since 2003, she began working as the Church Administrator in 2007.  As the Worship Pastor here at Believers Church Marsha's main goal is to usher in the presence of God and bring people to a new place of worship with their heavenly Father.  During the week you will find her working in the office doing the tasks that help make sure the church runs smoothly. In the past, she served as the Executive Assistant to the Finance Director of IPHC Ministries for 8 years prior to devoting her expertise to Believers Church. She desires that every aspect of her job is an expression of her love for the Savior and she loves to work in the office punching numbers and discovering new ways to get the word out about Believers Church.
