O’Violet J. Oree grew up in Dale, SC. In 1973 she started college life at Baptist College at Charleston, SC. In April 1974 during her first year she received personal salvation. While yet a college student, she met her husband through a friend at the College of Charleston. They met in a revival where she and a lot of other college girls were lifting up the name of Jesus. They were married in August of 1976 and have five wonderful children, who are living prosperous lives of their own.
After receiving a Bachelors of Science Degree at Baptist College at Charleston, now Southern University, she obtained a Master Degree in the Art of Teaching from the College of Charleston. Throughout the years after receiving these degrees, she continued taking classes and was trained in ministry and early child care. In 2009 she and her husband received their Honorary Doctoral Degrees from Grace Hill Bible College. Shortly afterward her husband initiated the start of Grace Hill Bible College at the Adams Run Civic Center and in North Charleston, where she has been teaching for the last nine years.
It was in 2009 that the PATT organization became an inspiration. The first conference was held in 2010 called P.A.T.T., (Passing Along the Torch). For the past ten years she has headed a three days/two night’s women’s conference in Savannah, GA, Charlotte, NC, Charleston, SC, Beaufort, SC, and Atlanta, GA just to name a few, where many women came together attending workshops on women’s issues while taking a moment to rejuvenate themselves.
It was in June 2011, after 21 years of teaching, she let the job go as the Lord instructed. She is now the Co-Pastor of The House of God Miracle Temple, Professor for Grace Hill Bible College, and directs a childcare center in Adams Run, SC.
