Apostle Shamielle Alston
The Voice. The Vessel. The Vision.
​Apostle Shamielle Alston is not just a woman with a message; she is the message. Known as "The Pen Behind The Praise", Apostle Shamielle is a fire-tested vessel whose life and ministry were birthed through pain, purpose, and undeniable encounters with God, she carries a mantle that awakens, heals, and establishes. She is the Founder and Apostle of The Worship Zone.
More than a church,
The Worship Zone is a thriving revival hub based in Durham, North Carolina, where the Spirit of God is free to move, deliverance is normal, and people are restored from the inside out.​ Apostle Shamielle doesn’t just preach sermons; she opens portals of transformation.
Her voice is unmistakable: part warrior, part nurturer, all truth. She speaks from the trenches of trauma and triumph, calling people out of cycles and into divine alignment. Her ministry is known for its depth, its realness, and its refusal to pretend. With grace and grit, she tears down religious walls and replaces them with altars.
She is also a prolific author, penning works that don’t just inspire, they intervene. Her writings reflect the weight of her assignment, offering healing for the broken, boldness for the hesitant, and wisdom for the called. Visitors are invited to explore her written works in the Reading Room, where every title is a journey of its own.
As a psalmist and songwriter, Apostle Shamielle merges sound with Spirit. Her project, He Reached Through The Ruins, is a collection of songs that emerged from her pulpit - worship moments that are soaked in power and revelation. One of its most beloved tracks, If Love Could Hold Her, is a deeply personal tribute to mothers and the grief that lingers when words aren’t enough. You can hear those tracks and more in the Music Lounge, where melody meets ministry.​But behind the titles and talents is a woman who bleeds authenticity. She is approachable, anointed, and anchored in her “yes.” Whether she’s ministering at the altar, writing at her desk, or laughing in conversation, Apostle Shamielle brings her whole self. And when you encounter her, you’ll quickly realize… God did too. This is not just someone to watch from a distance, this is someone you’ll want to experience in person. She carries revival in her voice, strategy in her steps, and a heart that makes people feel seen, safe, and sent.
