She was licensed through the Piedmont Manor Baptist Church in Greenville, South Carolina under the leadership of the Reverend Sylvester Golden.
On June 2, 1996, being Spirit-filled and Spirit led, Pastor Bufford founded the Bethel Full Gospel Baptist Church. The church opened its doors with no committed members, yet with the heart of God and praying ---“whosoever will, let him and her come.” The Bethel Full Gospel Baptist Church is a “ministry of discipleship” with a mission to “Touch Lives With the Word of God.”
Pastor Bufford and the Bethel church held membership with the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship in which she served as South Carolina State Overseer of Social Action.
