Dr. Lakita C. Lackey has been anointed and appointed by God to teach and to proclaim the Gospel of                                                         Jesus Christ. She is the daughter of the late Mr. James Caldwell and Mother Evelyn C. Woodson.                                                                 Upon graduating from Benjamin E. Mays High School, (Atlanta, GA) she continued her educational                                                             pursuits at Clark College (now known as Clark Atlanta University) in Atlanta, GA. While matriculating at                                                         Clark, she was a vibrant part of the “Lady Panthers” basketball team. In March, 2008, the Anointed by                                                         God Seminary of Brooklyn, NY honored this powerful woman of God by conferring her with an                                                                       Honorary Doctorate of Humanities Degree.

​

                                                       "First Lady”, as she is affectionately called, has always been known for having a congenial personality.                                                         Although she had many great virtues, she did not know the Lord. That changed on December 31,                                                                1983, during the “Watch Night” service at the Christ Tabernacle United Church of God in Christ                                                                     (Bishop  Spencer Lackey, Pastor). In that service, she accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord.

                                                       On March 2, 1985, she married her high school sweetheart, Minister (now Presiding Bishop) Aaron B.                                                         Lackey. To this union, God blessed them with two beautiful and very talented children, Aaronlyn L.                                                               (Leon) Wright and Aaron B. Lackey, Jr.

​
