Karen Dudley Ministries

Life Skills Training Center

Karen Dudley was born in Reydon, Oklahoma and is the mother of three. She received her Bachelor of Science Degree in 1995, specializing in Urban and Pastoral Ministries. Pastor Dudley is an Ordained Minister and for the past 25 years has been ministering the Word of God in the streets and jails throughout the metroplex of the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

In 1997, Karen founded and is currently pastoring the DALLAS INTERNATIONAL STREET CHURCH (DISC) in the inner city of Dallas, Texas. Her vision is ministering and helping those people who are homeless and living in poverty within the inner city of Dallas. Over the past twenty five years, DISC has become an established and vital part of the inner-city community, providing help and services to hundreds of people. 
Pastor Karen has been called the “Mother Teresa” of Dallas. From her early youth growing up in Oklahoma to working the hard streets of Dallas – now for over twenty years – she is literally on the front lines in the war against hunger, addiction, homelessness and poverty in South Dallas. Stories abound of her tenacity and courage as she is known for walking right into drug houses to pull people out when they have relapsed. She has an amazing boldness that she says comes from her faith in Christ.

In Pastor Karen’s ministry to the most broken of God’s people, she has established men’s and women’s discipleship programs, children’s programs, ministered to families, the homeless, those in jail and coming out of jail, male and female prostitutes, crack/drug addicts and alcoholics. She has truly reached down into the trenches and brought God’s people out, one by one, as He has led, with the unending Love and Forgiveness of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Karen Dudley is an inspirational and dynamic motivational speaker. In her presentation she shares the “How To” of planting an inner-city work, as well as sustaining and growing this work. It has been a total walk of faith as she has been completely dependent upon and taught of the Lord. Her work, it has been said, is a “Modern Day Miracle of God”. She is eager to continue her ministry and her walk with the Lord in the inner-city community of Dallas as well as expansion into other urban areas.
