Testimonials
“Working with Darlene was a blessing! She eloquently facilitated a leadership dinner with several women and it was powerful. She’s dependable, prompt, intentional in her work ethic, and truly goes above and beyond. I know I’ll be requesting her services again in the near future.”
Rev. Chelsea Waite-
Associate Pastor, Ebenezer Baptist Church
I had such a great experience working with Darlene! She took my rough content and helped make it meaningful and purposeful. She is an outstanding collaborator, gifted at truly seeing others and giving them voice.
President, Association of Ministry Educators
Rev. Dr. Brian Hull-
“I met Darlene at a time when I really questioned how I could best serve the church. I knew I was called to ministry, but when I observed my seminary classmates, I often felt like I didn't fit the mold of a minister. Meeting Darlene completely changed my perspective. She affirmed my unique giftings and helped me explore many pathways that have been crucial to my growth and development. She has this unique and keen sense of hearing what's truly in someone's heart, and she has the tools, resources, and experience to walk alongside anyone throughout their journey.”
Rev. Chrystal Golden
“I highly recommend Rev. Dr. Darlene Hutto as an incredible workshop facilitator and moderator of powerful panel conversations. Most recently I experienced her expertise as the convener and moderator of a Young Adult Theologians plenary session panel for the national convocation of The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries. Rev. Dr. Hutto was thoughtful and strategic in connecting with each panelist to shape the questions for the day. She brought her passion and deep experience in forming young theological leaders to every aspect of the process, and she elicited the best from every participant. This panel was, in fact, one of the most inspiring and thought-provoking experiences during the conference and left all the attendees wanting to engage both participants and the topics even more than at the start. In this instance and other occasions, Rev. Dr. Hutto has been a wonderful resource for our gatherings and I urge others to experience her many gifts! “
