Reverend Annette Currie Love was born in New York City, New York and was raised by her
grandmother. Annette was raised in a warm, loving environment based on strong
Christian principles.  As a result she accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior at an early
age and she participated in all phases of Christian ministries the church and community
offered.
 

Annette graduated Hoke High School in 1974 and moved to Durham NC to further her
education. Later she married and out of that union two sons were born and later four
grandchildren.
 

Annette retired in 2009 thinking she was going to take it easy, but all of that changed.
She believes she works harder now volunteering than when she did working from 9-5.
 

Annette felt the need to start her own organization called “Faith Based Service Network”
to be able to provide all types of resources for our community.
