First Lady, a native of Garysburg, North Carolina, is the first and only daughter of three children; born to Dr. & Mrs. Willie Gilchrist.  She received her Bachelors of Science degree in Accounting from Elizabeth City State      University and her Master of Business Administration from High Point University.  She is currently employed with LGS Innovations LLC, a subsidiary of Alcatel-Lucent Inc. She is a proud and dedicated mother of two handsome sons, Nathan  Edward II and Joshua Kaleb. 

First Lady Scovens believes that all that we do should be done out of our love for Christ and for the upbuilding of His kingdom. It is with this belief that she constantly strives to please God throughout her Christian walk.

Lady Scovens is a virtuous woman of God that strives to be a beacon of light and reflect Christ in all that she does.  She often says "it's not about me, it's not about you; it's all about God and Him glorified because only what you do for Christ will last".

In being a supporter of the vision and on one accord with the visionary of Galilee Missionary Baptist Church, she and her husband, Rev. Dr. Nathan E. Scovens, continue to reach out to others as Disciples of Christ by fasting, praying, and winning souls to the kingdom of God.

She is a worshiper and constantly employs the spirit of God in her life. Her greatest desire is that God would use her as an instrument to His glory, to share the good news of Christ to others.
