Mother Ermergene Lacy gave her life to Christ under the anointing of Bishop F.L. Haines in Denton, Texas before she moved to Oklahoma.  She joined Northside Church of God In Christ in 1951 under the leadership of the late Elder Carl Prather, followed by Elder Marion Ross and now her current Pastor Dr. David J. Johnson, Sr.  She remained faithful at Northside until God called her home.

Mother Ermergene Lacy was known for her anointed singing and bringing the word of God.  She enjoyed working for the Lord, and anyone that came in contact with her knew she was a Woman of God.  Mother Lacy worked under Superintendent Hearne, Superintendent Carl Prather, Superintendent Julius Ballard and now her Pastor Superintendent, Dr. David J.

Mother Ermergene Lacy loved going to church, singing, and praising the Lord with her whole heart.  Mother Lacy especially enjoyed leading testimony service and she would often times encouraged others to, "Let's have some church saints". She always had a testimony to share about the goodness of the Lord. She was a great prayer warrior. She leaves a great legacy of servant-hood and she was an inspiration to us all.
