Bevey Louden


Bevey Louden was born in East St. Louis, IL.  At the age of two, her family moved to Sparta, a small town in southern Illinois.  She is blessed with two wonderful God-fearing parents, Henry and Geanette Wilson, who gave her seven sisters and six brothers.  As a child she attended the Church of God in Christ, where her mother, Missionary Wilson, gave an anointed word that caused sinners to give their lives to Christ.  With this strong conviction and witness, Bevey understood at an early age what it meant to serve the Lord.  During her young teenage years she traveled with the church choir to various prison ministry outreach services.

In 1991, she relocated to Springfield, IL to pursue a new path on life.  She joined Abundant Faith Christian Center in 1994 and immediately became active in the women’s ministry.  She was trained and licensed as a minister under the leadership of Pastor Jerry Wayne Doss in 1996.  Since that time she has facilitated workshops and bible study classes for several diverse groups.  Her commitment to serving those in need extends in the areas of administration, counseling, self-development and education.   She has coordinated many retreats, youth activities and special church functions as well as served as a guest facilitator with her Pastor and Elders in providing leadership training to other churches. 

Bevey’s compassion for people causes her to surpass cultural, racial and social boundaries.  With a sincere commitment to the Lord, she is motivated to see success and victory in the lives of those who are at-risk.  She is an over comer of domestic violence and purposefully uses her story to assist other victims in becoming victors through proven successful methods including prevention.   Her community service includes participating in the City of Springfield's Race Relations Task Force Study Circles, as a middle school Volunteer Basketball Coach, and Enterprise Council Board Member. 

Bevey is married to Lorenzo Louden.  Over the past 13 years, she served in ministry at Abundant Faith Christian Center.  She is well respected in the community.  As the co-founder of Tower of Refuge, Inc., Bevey actively contributes to the successful reintegration of former inmates into society while promoting reconciliation with their families.
