MINISTERIAL TEAM
Reverend Carol Roache, Associate Minister
Rev. Katrina Norfleet Thomas serves as the Minister to Women at Wayman AME Church in Frederick, Maryland under the pastoral leadership of Rev. Joseph P. Deck, III.
Prior to joining Wayman in 2015, she was a long-time member of Allen Chapel AME Church in Silver Spring, Maryland and served in lay ministry at both congregations through various servant leadership roles, including women’s ministry, the women’s missionary society, and Christian education.
She holds a B.A. in communications from Howard University and a Master of Arts in Writing from Johns Hopkins University and has established a long career as a nonprofit communications executive and adjunct faculty member in higher education. As a published writer, Rev. Katrina extends her ministry by encouraging and inspiring women with messages of hope, healing, and faith. Her work has appeared in Christian and literary journals and in book anthologies, including Wisdom Has a Voice: Every Daughter’s Memory of Mother and A Cup of Comfort for Christian Women: Stories That Celebrate Your Faith and Trust in God.
Rev. Katrina matriculated through the Washington Conference Board of Examiners and was ordained a Local Deacon in 2022. In answering God’s call to ministry, she carries forward the legacy of her late maternal grandfather and mother—both ordained elders in the AME Zion denomination—whom she credits with instilling in her a foundation she uses to guide her faith walk: to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8).
She is married to John Thomas and together they are blessed with a blended family of adult children, grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
Rev. Kim Terry Hill was ordained an Itinerant Deacon during the 60th Washington Annual Conference under the guidance of her father in ministry Rev. Dr. Lee P. Washington, Pastor Emeritus, Reid Temple AME Church. She continued her ministry as an Associate Minister with Rev. Dr. Mark E. Whitlock, Jr. and currently serves under Rev. Joseph P. Deck, III, Sr. Pastor, Wayman AME Church.
Affectionally known as “Rev. Kim,” she is a gifted teacher, preacher, prophetic liturgical dancer, and writer. Rev. Kim has held leadership roles in ministry at both the local and conference levels. At Wayman she serves as a Servant Leader for Messengers of God, the online ministry of “Wayman Nation.”
On the conference level, she serves as the Coordinator for the Capital District for the Washington Conference Women in Ministry. Rev. Kim has also shared her gifts internationally, engaging in missionary outreach, teaching, and preaching in Malawi and Zimbabwe.
She has an Associate and a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Human Resources Management from Strayer University. She has matriculated at Wesley Theological Seminary towards completion of her Master of Divinity.
Her daily prayer is to live a life that is pleasing to God, allowing the Holy Spirit to use her as a vessel for salvation, healing, deliverance, and restoration. Her favorite scripture is John 3:16, reflecting God’s love and the reason for her hope. Her life scripture, Philippians 1:6, reminds her that God is continually shaping her life.
She is married to David Hill, and together they have a blended family with four daughters and five grandchildren.
