Catherine Clark Perkins
Personnel
(Cat) was called into the ministry in 1998 and continues to minister and educate people. With a bachelors degree in human service, she is that voice crying out in the wilderness. She was born and raised in The Church of The Living God, Los Angeles, California for most of her life. During her teen years she was sexually assaulted at gunpoint. This was the beginning of her life battling trauma. In 2008, her stepson was murdered in a police shooting thus adding to her traumatic life experiences.
Despite knowing so many people that had experienced violent crimes, she was not able to find any support services to help her figure out how to deal with the trauma. So she channeled her energy into her career. In 1989 she began working for the Los Angeles Marshalls Department as a clerk. By 1991 she was promoted to the Los Angeles Municipal Court as a Senior Court Clerk. She continued to work for the Los Angeles County Department for some 28 years.
In 2017 Cat’s journey to healing truly broadened as she began to work as a children’s advocate for the Los Angeles Superior Court and she became a licensed evangelist. Today Catherine continues to advocate for all survivors. She’s a founding member of the Sister Circle which focuses on addressing issues that affect women living in low-social economic communities. She currently holds the position on the board of directors for the United Black Family Scholarship Foundation
