Delois Carpenter
Executive Director
​
"I became Executive Director of House of Pearls in 2018. When addiction tries to destroy your home, you have to fight back. It's my belief that you cannot fight this battle without God. This is a war no parent signs up for willingly. I founded an addiction ministry called "Chain Breakers" in 2016, and through that ministry I became familiar with HOP. I feel very blessed that God gave me a front row seat to watch Him change the lives of the women He brings to HOP."
​
Delois has a certification in Biblical Counseling from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Delois is also a Certified Drug & Alcohol Treatment Specialist.
April McErlane
Administrative Director
"God not only used House of Pearls to save my life, but He has now given me the opportunity to witness the transformation He is doing in the lives of the ladies that come through the program. I am so blessed to be a part of this ministry."
April graduated the House of Pearls in 2021 and is now a North Carolina Certified Peer Support Specialist. She has become an asset to the ministry in many ways. Chances are if you call us, you will talk to April and she will lead you through the process of getting into our program or guide your call to where it needs to go.
Jessica Thomas
Ministry Assistant
"After spending over half my life in addiction, the Lord led me to the House of Pearls, where I have transformed my life and become a new creation! Working with women has always been a passion of mine and I'm excited and blessed to be able to be apart of the HOP and watch God work in the lives of the woman here by loving and showing them that there is hope and a future and it starts with Jesus Christ!"
Jessica graduated House of Pearls in 2025. While in the program, Jessica showed exemplary leader skills and we are beyond blessed to have her on our staff.
Kimmie Schoening
