Pastor Sheyna L. Heard has been involved in Christian ministry since 1995.  She is a founding member of Rohi Temple Of Reconciliation and was ordained as a minister in July 2004.  On October 5, 2008, her husband, Pastor Jeffery S. Heard went home to be with the Lord.  It was at this time that the Lord called Sheyna to be the Senior Pastor of Rohi Temple Of Reconciliation.

She is a single mother of two dynamic little boys, Jeffery S Heard II, age 6, and Joshua, age 4.  She believes that her first ministry is to her family and serves as a basketball and baseball coach for her children’s sports teams.

She has served in Rohi Temple Of Reconciliation as the Worship Leader, womens ministry coordinator, youth and young adult coordinator, and church administrator.  She has taught Adult Sunday school classes, discipleship classes and preaches a dynamic word on Sunday mornings.

Pastor Sheyna is also an avid business woman.  She is the President and CEO of Rohi Alternative Community Outreach, a non-profit organization designed to help meet the needs of youth in the East San Jose Community.  She manages over 40 people of staff and volunteers.  She is an entrepreneur with a thriving Real Estate Investment business.  A native of St.Louis, MO, she received a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Northwestern University and she holds a Master’s in Business Administration from California State University, Dominguez Hills.

Sheyna is best known, not for the things above, but for her love of the Lord. She seeks to spend time alone with God each day but admits that it is often a challenge with a busy schedule and a small child. Her hobbies include spending time with her family, reading, running and shopping.

With echoes of her husband’s dynamic preaching style, Sheyna boldly challenges others to develop a close relationship with Jesus Christ, receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and walk as Spirit-filled leaders in the communities. The RTR family attributes Sheyna’s wisdom and leadership to the emphasis she places on a close personal relationship with God.
