The Erma's Love Scholarship Program was established in honor of Pastor Erma M. Muldrow, a devoted woman of faith whose life was defined by love, compassion, generosity, and service to others.
Pastor Erma believed in showing up for people during their most difficult moments. Whether through prayer, encouragement, mentorship, or acts of kindness, she dedicated her life to uplifting others and ensuring they knew they were not alone. Her unwavering faith and servant's heart touched countless lives and left a lasting impact on her family, church, and community.
