During her early adult life she later relocated from Nacogdoches Texas to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma  and  then to Chicago, Illinois. She accepted Christ under the leadership of Elder Harold R Gumm Sr. of Shiloh Apostolic Lighthouse church located in Chicago Illinois.

After relocating to the far side of Chicago, Illinois Mildred and her children became members of True Holiness Pentecostal Church under the leadership of Pastor Florence Nixon. Mildred served faithfully in the following ministries; Sunday School Teacher, Missionary Chairman and Evangelism.

So many years later Mildred was elevated to Pastor. Mildred and her husband were granted permission by Pastor Florence Nixon to start their own church in their home located in Bolingbrook Illinois. New Life Apostolic Church!

She attended Moody Bible, Trinity Bible and Enoch Bible school for completion of ministerial studies.

Pastor Mildred Burton was dedicated and passionate about the elevation that God had given  her. Pastor Burton and Deacon Burton were always opening up their home to others that needed a place to stay and giving to others who were less fortunate, even when they didn’t have enough.

Pastor Mildred Burton loved teaching and ministering to others about one God’s goodness and serving God wholeheartedly. Though there were some life challenges the years, she would always say my God is ever so Faithful.
