Paula White-Cain

White-Cain's most notable achievement is her historic role as the first woman to deliver the invocation at a U.S. presidential inauguration in 2017. She has also been a prominent figure in American evangelicalism, leading megachurches and advising a U.S. president. In 2026, she was celebrated for 40 years of ministry, a milestone that underscores her enduring influence in the faith community. Her appointment as director of the White House Faith Office marks a rare position of religious leadership within the executive branch.
