Downing Ministries
Downing Ministries, INC. (Ann Downing Ministries) is a 501 c 3 nonprofit organization. The ministry is comprised of two people, Ann and ministry associate, Karissa Petty. 2020 marks Ann's 57th year of proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ through music and Karissa's 10th year of full-time ministry alongside Ann. The two have worked together a total of 11 years. Ann is a Commissioned Song Evangelist with the Church of the Nazarene.
Ann and Karissa are strong believers that the Bible is a literal, living text and is God's inerrant Word. While Ann is Nazarene, as a child, she was saved in a Baptist church, attended singing events at the local Church of God, and grew up in a family whose roots were deeply Methodist. Karissa attended a Baptist church while in college and comes from a family with strong ties to both the Foursquare Church and the Assemblies of God. The variety of their backgrounds puts them at ease working with all denominations.
