Walk Our Destiny

Angelic DeWitt Simmons: preacher, teacher, servant-leader, counselor, author and mother.  Underneath the veil of her humble beauty and gentle smile, is a caterpillar-like story of transformation and transition.  She has withstood tumultuous times and dedicated her life to cultivating others as they evolve through their trials and advance through their troubles.  In each step of her walk with The Lord, she is encouraging others to reach their God-given potential in their personal, professional, and spiritual lives.

Raised in one of the roughest parts of the Washington, DC metropolitan area, Angelic was nurtured in a single-parent Christian home with biblical values and principles.  At the tender age of 12, Angelic gave her heart to The Lord.  She nurtured her passion for God and cultivated her yielded lifestyle which has led to an anointing to preach and teach the word of God with authority, revelation, and deliverance.

At the age of 28, she married renowned evangelist, Pastor Nathan L. Simmons.  After being married for close to 8 years and serving her husband as ministerial aid and supporter, wife and mother, Angelic Simmons learned the bittersweet side of ministry- when her husband died.  The loss of her husband impacted not only her, but her daughters- Victoria and Alexis- as well as the members of their church.  Uncertain about the future, she was propelled from servant to Leader.

After hearing the “clarion call” of God and accepting the mantle of her late husband, Superintendent Nathan L. Simmons, Sr. Pastor Simmons transitioned from mourning to ministry, serving as pastor of Citadel of Hope Evangelistic C.O.G.I.C. for over 2 years.  In May 2009, determined to reach her God-given aptitude, Sr. Pastor Simmons launched, The New Citadel of Hope Christian Church, now known as Total Victory Worship Center a cutting edge multi-cultural, multi-faceted, family oriented ministry that is reaching with LOVE, teaching to LIVE a Victorious life and building to LAST.

Her journey of elevation during troubled times is a testament of Isaiah 61:3~ “To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.”  Armed with her degrees in Teaching, Religion and Biblical Studies, Sr. Pastor Simmons is known for her challenging preaching and thought-provoking teaching.  Her messages motivate, encourage, and produce effective change.  She believes “Life is full of battles and struggles.  God has positioned each of us to win.  Along the way you may get injured.  Don’t focus on the wound- rather look for the scar.  The scar says ‘I am healed.’”

Transformed from widow to weapon of power, her anointing deeply penetrates the mind, heart, and soul. Her teaching, preaching, and sharing of the good news of Jesus Christ has liberated many.  She is the author of one of the most motivating and captivating books to be birthed into the Earth realm, From Ashes to Destiny.  As a woman of style, grace and integrity, Angelic DeWitt Simmons is an inspiration to countless individuals as she seeks to empower individuals to be efficient and effective kingdom builders.
