ABOUT ELISHA J MITCHELL -
This Pacific Northwest native has a heavenly message and a name to match. Elisha, which in Hebrew means "God of Salvation", thinks of little else than sharing the love of God in song, timely teaching and practical living.
Elisha has loved singing since childhood. She sang her first solo in a Christmas play in fourth grade. At age 13, she began directing and playing for church choirs.
Elisha's solo debut album, FOUNDATION, was released shortly before the tragic events of September 11, 2001. The songs comforted many and still do today.
Eager to experience the entire recording process, Elisha wrote nine of the songs, laid the background vocals, and programmed all of the music. In honor of the late Danniebelle Hall (formerly of Andre' Crouch and the Disciples), Elisha has re-recorded the song "What Kind Of Love Is This" from Dannibelle's solo album "This Moment".
Elisha continues to direct and play for choirs and remains in high demand as a soloist. She is also gifted prophet and teacher. She served as the 5th District Worship Director for the Women's Missionary Society of the AME Church for five years.
Her passions include education reform, care ministry for congregations, intergenerational relations, racial equity and healthy marriage relationships.
Elisha serves the congregation of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Spokane, Washington with her husband, Pastor Lonnie Mitchell. They have four children and four grandchildren. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
