Elder Eria Nesbitt was born in Winnabow, North Carolina.  At an early age, she moved to Wilmington.  She grew up in the Church of God in Christ (COGIC).  At a young age, she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior.  Later, she moved her membership (along with her family) to Holy Trinity Holy Church.  Nesbitt remained there until shortly after marrying her husband, the great man of God, Bishop Linwood Nesbitt and became a member of New Covenant Holiness Church (NCHC).  

The title of Elder means overseer and shepherd.  Being an elder means you have been selected by God to care for the spiritual growth of the flock. Likewise, you are charged to lead that flock to Christian maturity.  As elder, she accepted the task and commitment to be a shepherd, guardian, leader, and example for all believers.  

Elder Nesbitt says that she must constantly seek the help of God, through prayer and study of his word, so that her service will bring honor to Him and His son, Jesus Christ
