Through her work as senior pastor for New Greater Victory Church, the Rev. Lucielle Reitzell is devoted to helping others reach their God-given potential. In addition to her spiritual teachings, the Rev. Reitzell works on the food drive to reach out to the poor and has developed outreach programs to help people with substance abuse issues. Inspired by her faith in God, she has been bringing her compassion for others and love of humanity to the ministry field for 39 years.

The Rev. Reitzell feels that she was called by God to pursue a career in the ministry. She prepared for her vocation by attending Bradley Academy for 18 months, and she supplements her prior educational experience by regularly attending seminars. Attributing her success to God’s care, the Rev. Reitzell has faced challenges getting male pastors to take her role seriously and would like to reach out to other hopeful pastors, helping them achieve their vocational goals of helping others.

As she continues in her career, the Rev. Reitzell hopes to be remembered for her tender heart and soul. Passionate about helping others, she volunteers for all of her church events, fundraisers and support programs. The Rev. Reitzell has been recognized by Strathmore’s Who’s Who. In addition to her work in the ministry, she serves the Northrop Grumman Corporation as a security service specialist.
