In May 2011, she was invited to serve as a facilitator for the faith-based counseling and training curriculum of the Joint Commission on Chaplain Accreditation and Education. Dr. Harris has served as a member of the Department of Family Protective Services Child Abuse Task Force, and as a Blue Sunday Chairperson and given the Halo Award by Blue Sunday Founder Janet Magee for her commitment to San Antonio’s Annual Blue Sunday Event.

Under the hat of “Minister Harris,” she has served in youth ministry for 27 years and is an ordained minister serving as Youth Director at Covenant Community Church in San Antonio until March 2014. She is also the Community Youth Pastor of the Inspiration Center for youth seeking spirituality through Christianity. Her commitment to serving youth and their families is unshakable.

Dr. Harris is married to her best friend, Lt Col (Ret) Lionel Harris, Jr, and together they have two children, five grandchildren, one grand dog and a love of traveling. During their season of almost 30 years of military service they have been to over forty countries and still counting!
Her tag line: “Only the Creator can heal His Creation; anything else is a band-aid fix.”
Her favorite Scriptures: Ephesian 3:20 and Proverbs 3: 5-6
