I have been co-laboring with my husband, Bishop Daniel Cunningham for the past 26 years birthing and growing The Empowerment Center (TEC). I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior at age 14 and have pursuing after purpose in Christ ever since then.  I am the chief Overseer at  TEC as well as directly supporting several ministries. I was ordained an Elder and a Prophet through Kingdom Fellowship Covenant Ministries under the Presiding Prelate and founder and spiritual father Archbishop Ralph L. Dennis.  In 2018, I was consecrated as an Overseer and affirmed as an Apostle under the hands Bishop Daniel Cunningham, Prelate of Kingdom Apostolic Network, Bishop Robert Thomas, Apostle Ron Rayon and Apostle Kenneth Willis.

As an Apostle, I am the founder and overseer of Valarie Cunningham Ministries International (VCMI) nationally and internationally, the founder and president of Kingdom Empowerment Institute (KEI), the founder and CEO of Synergy Health Center and UrbanZone and the founder and president of ValarieSimone, LLC.

I have been blessed to complete a Bachelor of Business Administration, BA, and master’s in social work, MSW, from Western Michigan University  and working on a Doctorate in Ministry from Vision International (2023).  My greatest joy and blessing are my 31 year marriage to Daniel and being a mother to Phillip, Valorian and Danielle and a Nana to Rayden.
