God's Vessel Ministries

Reverend Melissa Hayward-Tucker is the visionary and founder of "God's Vessel Ministries." She is married to the love of her life, Deacon Anthony C. Tucker, and they both serve in ministry together.

Deacon Anthony is a Certified Drug & Alcohol Counselor. Anthony is also a licensed & Certified Anger Management Professional for youth and adults.

Deacon Anthony has just completed his studies in leadership and ministry at Cottonwood College.

The Tuckers have dedicated their lives to helping the recovery community, any heartbroken person, abandoned, drug-addicted, and perhaps has simply lost their way. God's Vessel is here to support you.

The Tuckers know this all too well because they too have struggled with drugs and alcohol, but by the grace of God, they have been transformed by the power of God, and today they gracefully share with others the redemptive messages; of hope from the infallible word of God!

God's Vessels was envisioned in 2006 to help restore lives from dependency to self-sufficiency. The Tuckers have unified their callings to assist individuals and families in restoration.

Together, they have five children God has blessed them. And are grateful that God has found favor to allow them the privilege to share the Good News and direct them in the way of the Lord. It gives them great joy to experience an incredible witness to the journey of their children's lives.  

Reverend Melissa completed her Certificate in Biblical Studies at Bethany Bible College in March of 2020. By God's grace, she was licensed to preach in 2008 and ordained in 2014.
