Earnestine accepted Christ at an early age and was a member of Hester Grove Baptist Church. Upon marriage, she moved her membership to Timothy Baptist Church.

As an enduring servant in her walk with Christ, Earnestine received baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. She later decided to move her membership to Johnson Memorial Church of God In Christ where she became an ordained minister.
