Winslow Graves was born in July 26, 1954 in Brooklyn, New York. She left New York and was moved to North Carolina to live in a little town called New Hope, North Carolina, where she was raised there by her mother Dollie M. Winslow Armstrong (deceased) and Father Herbert White (deceased). She attended a school there called Perquimans County School. She left there at the age of 12 years old and went to Waterbury, Connecticut to live with relatives, Mr. and Mrs. William Banks to continue her education. After graduating from high school she attended Mattatuck Community college in Waterbury, Connecticut, and Briarwood College in Southington, Connecticut. Growing up, she was raised in a church called Galatia Baptist Church, after moving to Waterbury Connecticut she moved her membership to Zion Baptist Church. As a teenager she sang on the young people’s choir, and worked on the junior missionary board. On the day of August 3, 1974, I was married to my husband, Charles R. Graves and had two beautiful children. My husband Charles joined the military and we decided I would remain in Waterbury, Connecticut so the children could stay and get their education. After that God took Shirley into the Apostolic teaching, and her membership was moved to Gospel Light Apostolic Church in Danbury, Connecticut, the Pastor of that great church is Pastor Glenn Dansby.She was even more hungry and thirsty for the word of God. After she became a member at Gospel Light Apostolic, Pastor Dansby planted a seed into her life that seed continuously grew day by day until it was fully nourished. In April 6, 1996 my husband received military orders to move to Charleston area. Then I moved my membership to Full Gospel Ministry under the leadership Pastor Clifford Whitfield and then under Pastor Benjamin Broughton Heavenly Hope Christian Center, my seed was further watered. Now God has really Increase her and brought her and her husband Charles to a land of milk and honey where they now attend church at New Bethel Sounds of Praise Pentecostal Fellowship Ministries, and attended and graduated with an Associates in Christian Education and a Bachelor of Science degree in Theology from Grace Hill Bible College under the leadership of Visionaries Apostle Allen H. & Honorable Lady Jan Simmons.
