Hi, I’m Maria Reems

wife, mother of three daughters, and co-pastor of Center of Hope Community Church in Oakland, California, where I serve alongside my husband, Pastor Brondon Reems.
I am an anointed, dynamic speaker, preacher, and teacher—committed to empowering people through faith, purpose, and spiritual growth.

Mission & Calling

Building Hope, Healing, and Empowerment

My life’s mission is to help people grow stronger in faith and purpose.
I provide community relations training and professional consulting services to both non-profit and for-profit organizations, integrating faith-based leadership with practical strategies that create change.

Following in the footsteps of my mother, Bishop Ernestine Reems, I am a strong advocate for women—promoting spiritual healing as a tool for empowerment and transformation.

Women on the Move

Faith in Action

I founded and continue to facilitate Women on the Move, a professional network for women seeking empowerment and transformation through life’s journey.
Since 2009, this organization has hosted a free annual health and career fair for the City of Oakland—featuring special guests such as Cheryl Lee Ralph, KRON 4 news anchor Pam Moore, and Mayor Jean Quan.

Professional Background

Where Faith Meets Leadership

Before stepping into full-time ministry, I worked as a corporate executive and school teacher.
Today, I combine that experience with my pastoral calling—empowering individuals to maximize their talents and abilities.

I hold a B.A. in Business Marketing from San Francisco State University and an M.B.A. in Business Management from John F. Kennedy University.
