Minister Sentheia McLeod gave her life to the Lord at an early age. A native of Canton, Ohio, she graduated high school and moved to New Jersey to pursue her college career. Since then, she has received her Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in Psychology/Early Childhood Education and Advanced Curriculum and teaching.

While Sentheia has served as a teacher and lead educator for the past 21 years in the Plainfield Public School district, she has also committed her life to service for God’s Kingdom here on earth. She is a member of 

Cathedral International (the Historic Second Baptist Church) of Perth Amboy, New Jersey

. In 2001, she answered her call to dance ministry and currently serves as Director of Dance Ministry. Sentheia answered her call and was licensed to preach the Gospel in 2013 by her pastor, 

Soon after she graduated from Drew Theological Seminary in 2016 with an M.A in Worship and Liturgical Arts. Her seminary experience led her to serve as a dance liaison and a Peace Ambassador for various peace initiatives at the United Nations (Annual International Day of Peace, Women’s Rights, Gun Violence Awareness). She completed her Internship at the Church Center for the United Nations, where she gathered children and worshippers to share the gospel through dance and spoken word.

With a desire to answer the next call on her life, Sentheia graduated from EITI Dance Year 1 Course and received her Dance Minister’s License in 2016, and was ordained Pastor under Set Free Ministries in 2018. She is a 2018 graduate of The Eagles Network (TEN) New Jersey and currently serves as the USA Director and a staff developer for the EITI. She is appointed ambassador to the nations of Suriname and England. Sentheia enjoys sharing the Word of God through dance around the world.

Above all these earthly accomplishments, Min. Sentheia McLeod is a fervent and lifelong worshiper servant of God, who loves the Lord and the Lord’s people! She counts it an extreme honor to be called to serve in the Kingdom for such a time as this. Min. Sentheia McLeod’s life mission is supported by two of her favorite scriptures: Genesis 50:20 and Isaiah 61.

Dear God, where are you? I prayed. I think you made a big mistake and put me in the wrong family!

I never felt like I belonged, and I always wanted out. The things I dreamed of and aspired to be were never evident in the people assigned to care for me, the only people I knew and loved. This is my story. It’s a story of pain, neglect, abuse, rejection, and chaos, but it’s also a story of grace, faith, forgiveness, acceptance, restoration, and love.

Journey with me as I share how desire changed my life and how I came to know that God never makes a mistake! “We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28, ESV). Let your heart find joy as you peek into my life and learn that through it all, God was there! There is a celebration, and the celebration is in my dance! New Life, New Dance is a heartfelt and inspiring story of victory.
