Upon marriage, she moved her membership to Timothy Baptist Church.  She later became a member of Harmony Missionary Baptist Church in Corsicana, Texas where she served faithfully for many years in many different roles including as a choir member, youth bible study teacher and as the youth director.

She later decided to move her membership to Johnson Memorial Church of God In Christ where she became an ordained minister. During her time at Johnson Memorial, she was in great demand as a guest speaker at numerous churches throughout the community.  In 1992 Earnestine moved to Houston, Texas to be closer to several of her children and grandchildren.
