Pastor Dr. Tamara Dukes is the Founder and Senior Pastor of Restoration Love Center, a ministry born from a divine vision she received to restore God’s people in love, faith, and hope. Her ministry is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: there is no hurt God cannot heal and no sin He cannot forgive.
With a heart for those who have experienced church hurt, spiritual exhaustion, or seasons that have tested their faith, Pastor Dukes is passionate about creating a place where people can encounter the love of God and experience His power to renew, revive, and restore.
Her passion for strengthening women and families also led her to establish Women Warring in the Spirit (WWISP),
empowering women to cover their families in prayer, embrace their God-given purpose, and pursue the vision God has placed within them.
Pastor Dukes’ calling to care for God’s people extends from the pulpit to the community. A Doctor of Nursing Practice, primary care provider, healthcare entrepreneur, and educator, she has dedicated her life to caring for the whole person-spiritually, physically, and emotionally. She is the founder of Genesis Total Health and Wellness Clinic and also mentors the next generation of healthcare professionals as an adjunct professor.
Above all, Pastor Dukes is a woman of God devoted to faith, family, and service. She is a loving wife and the matriarch of a blended family of six children, 17 grandchildren, and two great- grandchildren.
Whether preaching the Word, praying with a family, caring for a patient, mentoring a student, or encouraging someone to begin again, Pastor Dr. Tamara Dukes remains committed to the mission God placed in her heart:
Restoring lives. Strengthening faith. Loving God’s people back to Him.
