From the spirited avenues of Jacksonville to communities worldwide, Apostle Barbara Green has devoted her life to cultivating hope, uplifting the vulnerable, and creating pathways for empowerment. For over two decades, she has worn a variety of hats—literally and figuratively—serving as Pastor-Founder and President of Greater Dimensions Ministry, Inc., ABG Enterprises 126, LLC, and The Hat Game, Inc. Throughout these roles, her enduring mission has remained consistent: to serve the needy, champion those who feel forgotten, and unify communities through faith, creativity, and compassionate outreach.
A Faith-Inspired Call to Serve
A deeply spiritual leader, Apostle Green draws her conviction from a biblical mandate: “Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy” (Proverbs 31:9).
These words illuminate every aspect of her work. Whether she is coordinating feeding programs for low-income families, spearheading mentorship opportunities for women, or advocating for seniors in need of community support, her leadership reflects a commitment to walk beside those often overlooked by society. Under Apostle Green’s gentle yet determined guidance, innumerable individuals have found not only material relief but also regained a sense of self-worth and belonging.
The Hat Game, Inc.: A Beacon of Creativity and Dignity
Among her many initiatives, The Hat Game, Inc. stands out as an innovative and jubilant expression of Apostle Green’s vision. This nonprofit celebrates creativity-embodied by hats of every shape and style-as a symbol of dignity, hope, and self-expression. Though hats remain a lively motif, the organization’s focus extends far beyond fashion, encompassing three core pillars:
- Women’s Empowerment – Through workshops, coaching programs, and interactive networking events, The Hat Game inspires women to break through personal barriers and pursue their dreams. By fostering self-confidence, community, and sisterhood, Apostle Green’s women-centric endeavors grant participants the tools and support they need to triumph over financial hardships, family responsibilities, or self-doubt.
- Senior Citizen Support – Events like “Joy Is Now” and the annual “Spring Hat Luncheon” welcome seniors from across Jacksonville, offering moments of celebration, gratitude, and inclusive fellowship. Many seniors who once felt forgotten find new companionship in these warm gatherings, knowing they are valued members of a loving community.
- Community and Global Outreach – Guided by Apostle Green’s faith-based perspective, The Hat Game partners with networks both local and international to extend its service programs beyond Jacksonville. This global collaboration underscores the potency of united efforts, reflecting her conviction that every individual-regardless of background-deserves dignity, empowerment, and a sense of belonging.
Beauty Entrepreneurship and Apostles’ Closet
Apostle Green’s dedication to uplifting others also manifests in her passion as a Beauty Entrepreneur. She believes that the excitement of any event begins well before the doors open, and she is committed to ensuring participants feel confident and cared for:
- Apostle’s Closet (ABG Closet) – Participants attending The Hat Game’s events or gatherings hosted by Greater Dimensions Ministry can receive outfits at no charge, thanks to a lovingly curated closet of styles. In many cases, Apostle Green sends five to ten individuals on shopping trips to find the perfect attire, enhancing the sense of anticipation and self-assurance before an event.
- Free Manicures, Pedicures, and Hair Support – Recognizing that true confidence often blossoms from feeling good inside and out, Apostle Green provides free manicures, pedicures, and hair services-complete with wig donations for seniors. This special touch promotes the message that each attendee is cherished, that every woman should feel genuinely beautiful.
By intertwining beauty and empowerment, Apostle Green boosts morale and reaffirms the dignity of those she serves. Whether someone is overcoming financial strain, health challenges, or personal loss, these services help them step into each event with renewed self esteem.
ABG Wash Day
In addition to her focus on beauty and self-care, Apostle Green launched the ABG Wash Day initiative. Held weekly or biweekly, it offers free laundry essentials-like liquid Gain and dryer sheets-along with ten gift cards of $10 each, ensuring seniors and others with limited resources can wash up to five loads of laundry. This practical measure offers tangible relief, validating her commitment to meeting everyday needs with kindness.
Seasonal and Monthly Outreach
Apostle Green’s ministry also addresses pressing concerns and fosters regular community engagement throughout the year:
- Monthly Senior Luncheons – Every month, Apostle Green meets with 100 to 150 seniors for a hearty lunch, aiming to assess immediate and long-term needs. Beyond a simple meal, these gatherings encourage relationship-building, enable the sharing of vital information about upcoming events, and allow seniors to voice concerns in a supportive environment.
- Xmas Outreach – During the Christmas season, Apostle Green’s team distributes coats and socks to the wider community, ensuring seniors and other at-risk groups stay warm during the cold winter months. This annual tradition epitomizes her year round commitment to service, empathy, and community unity.
- MLK Parade Outreach – In a spirited demonstration of solidarity and goodwill, Apostle Green’s outreach during the Martin Luther King Jr. Parade includes handing out 5,000 bags of candy, multiple cases of water, and 500 gift cards. These resources help participants and attendees enjoy a nourishing meal after the festivities, reinforcing her belief that communal celebrations should also address essential needs.
Through these varied programs, Apostle Green tirelessly serves diverse demographics, including the sick, terminally ill, widows, and individuals of all races, affirming that no one is beyond the reach of compassion.
Cultivating Meaningful Collaborations
Apostle Green’s approach to alliance-building is rooted in her vision of shared purpose and mutual respect. She seeks partners-brands, nonprofits, and faith-based organizations-that prioritize the well-being of their communities. Key avenues of engagement include:
- Event Sponsorship – Corporate sponsors can help fund annual events like the “Spring Hat Luncheon,” ensuring that seniors attend free of charge and enjoy top-tier dining and entertainment.
- In-Kind Contributions – Essential items such as personal care products and household necessities are compiled into care packages for those on limited or fixed incomes, bridging critical gaps in resources.
- Digital and Social Media Campaigns – Harnessing the internet’s global reach, Apostle Green amplifies the voices of the marginalized, inviting diverse supporters to participate in or replicate her outreach projects around the world.
Above all, she seeks enduring partnerships grounded in shared values, relationships that transcend the transactional and join hearts and minds in service to those who need it most.
Looking Ahead: Faith, Resilience, and the Forthcoming Hat Parade (2026) Although The Hat Parade is forthcoming in 2026, Apostle Green’s overarching mission remains unwavering: to honor the biblical calling to help “the poor, needy, sick, and broken” while ensuring no one stands alone or forgotten. Through the combined endeavors of The Hat Game, Greater Dimensions Ministry, and ABG Enterprises 126, she envisions continued expansion-cultivating new global connections, fortifying existing initiatives, and weaving a broader tapestry of hope that touches both her city and the international stage.
