Baltimore Unit

Patrice Coleman​

Baltimore Unit President

She is a graduate of Catonsville Community College, Bowie State University and the University of Maryland University College obtaining an Associate of Applied Science degree in Mortuary Science (2004), a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice (2015), and a master’s degree in criminal justice management (2018). Patrice has held numerous positions on the local, state, regional, and national level, which include being the 1st and 2nd Vice - President of the Baltimore Unit, the Young Adult President, and Chaplain of the Board of Trustees for the State of MD, Young Adult Director, Recording Secretary, Regional Counselor for the Eastern Region Church Ushers Association, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th Vice-President, Recording Secretary for the National Young Adult Department, and National Chaplain.

 

She currently serves as the President for the Baltimore Unit, Music Chairperson for the State of Maryland, and Music Co-Chairman for the Henry Ballard Mass Choir. Patrice loves spending time with her family and enjoying life. She is certain that God is leading her to higher heights and deeper depths in the Ministry and because he is choosing her, she will certainly follow. She clings to the scripture,

 

“This I recall to my mind; therefore, have, I hope. It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness” Lamentations 3:21-23

One of her favorite hymns; that she sometime sing is Great Is Thy Faithfulness:

Great is Thy faithfulness!

Great is Thy faithfulness!

Morning by morning new mercies I see. All I have needed Thy hand hath provided; Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

A saying that she has to remind herself about as she navigates life’s mountains and valleys is, “Well done is better than well said” (Benjamin Franklin) for when that time shall come she wants to hear The Master say, “Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord”      Matthew 25:23

History of the Baltimore Unit

On January 15, 1983, the Interdenominational Church Ushers Association of Maryland, Incorporated organized another unit, Baltimore City Unit. Its first president was Brother Joshua R. Jones, who for many years had serviced as vice president of state and many other capacities. As the first president, he strived to keep in step with the state and national activities. In, 1984, Brother Willie King took the reign as Baltimore City’s second president. In 1989 Sister Jessie L. Brown was elected as its third president with Sister Muriel Gray being elected as our fourth President in 1995. In 1997, Brother Lloyd C. Morse, Jr., was elected our fifth President followed by Brother Preston Jennings in 1999 as the unit’s the sixth President. In 2001, Sister Muriel Gray served again as the seventh president and in 2002, Sister Patricia Harris became the unit’s eighth President. In 2009, Sister Sandra D. Logan served as the ninth President followed by Brother Gerald A. Hill, Sr. in 2011 serving as the tenth president of the Baltimore Unit. In 2015 Sister Vanessa W. Lucas was elected as our eleventh President and in 2018, Brother Lamar Garrett was elected as the twelve President, a position he is still currently serving.

 

In 1990 Baltimore County joined the Baltimore City Unit. As a result of this addition, Brother Lloyd Morse recommended that The Baltimore City Unit be renamed to The Baltimore Unit.

 

It is the goal of the Baltimore Unit to continue to reach out and invite other churches of all denominations to join the fellowship of this Christian Organization.
