Rev. Rhonda Britton is retiring at New Horizons Baptist Church in Halifax , Canada .

She is the first woman senior pastor at the historic institution, on its 175th anniversary.

Britton , a 67-year-old former information technology worker from Jacksonville , Fla. , was ordained at the age of 44 .

During a recent Sunday service, the baskets were passed to collect donations as people prayed that congregants would give generously to help the church pay off a $1-million mortgage. Britton admits she is “tired” and says she will rest and discern what comes next after she leaves on Dec. 31 . “The Lord has decreed it is fine. You can go. You’ve done what you came to do and you can go,” she said. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 2, 2024 ..
