              One of the most dynamic women in 21st century Christian ministry, Dr. Bernita Croslan has placed her hand firmly on the reigns of her calling. Dr. Croslan is endeavoring to encourage women across the nation, and ultimately around the world, to establish and maintain a standard in Christ that exceeds the tradition of merely going to church services on Sunday. Dr. Croslan is a truly gifted orator who is blessed with a keen prophetic anointing…one that allows her to hear the “Voice of GOD” and prick the heart of man. Her passionate enthusiasm, coupled with her “real life” approach to the Word of GOD, makes her messages relevant to Believers and non-Believers, thereby making the “proposed” commitment to Christ something that is desirable and, most importantly, attainable.

            Dr. Croslan and her husband, Senior Pastor Apostle John A. Croslan II, serve as the leaders of Restored Life Church International in Lithonia, GA, a ministry that is poised to “bring the Church back to church!” She is also the Vice President of “Cross the Land Ministries,” whose mission is to “spread the Word of GOD across the land” through the spoken Word, musical recordings, literary works, and the publication of all of these ministerial platforms.

            Dr. Croslan accepted her calling as an evangelist in 1994 and was licensed and ordained as a minister while under the leadership of Pastor Michael Benton of Fairfield Baptist Church. In 2017, Dr. Croslan was ordained by Apostle Croslan as the Pastor of Restored Life Church International. These ministerial elevations were all a byproduct of her zealous service in ministry, as well as the hand of GOD being ever present in her journey.

            Dr. Croslan has a tremendous and unwavering heart for GOD and for women’s ministry. She is the founder and overseer of the “Women of Life” Women’s Ministry at Restored Life Church International, which is operated by women who are committed to the Lord and to the serving the spiritual and natural needs of His people. She is also the founder of the renowned “Recovery Room,” which is an open forum that is designed to help women receive healing and recovery from various “life issues” within a spiritual and practical atmosphere. Dr. Croslan also added “author” to her list of accomplishments, after publishing her first book entitled “The Recovery Room: I Survived,” which is a compilation of testimonials from women who have benefited from their experiences within the Recovery Room.

            Dr. Croslan completed her undergraduate degree in Religious Studies at Spelman University in Atlanta, GA in 2014. She continued her educational pursuits, receiving a master’s degree in Leadership from Beulah Heights University in 2015. In May of 2023, Dr. Croslan received her doctorate degree in Humanities, with a concentration in African American Women Studies from Clark Atlanta University.

            Dr. Croslan’s greatest accomplishment is serving as the wife of Apostle Croslan, and being the proud mother of two children, John III, and Jocilyn. Together with her husband, Dr. Croslan is committed to guiding their children, and GOD’s people, in the knowledge, wisdom, and glory of GOD. Anointed, Powerful, Humble, and Prophetic…Dr. Bernita Croslan is a “Dangerous” woman on a mission to proclaim the Word of GOD, to do HIS will, and to see GOD’s people fulfilled, happy, and free.
