Teri grew up in the Bible belt on fried chicken and gospel singin’ performing her first song at age five. She was a regular on the stage of the Church of God campground and at 18 joined the Lee Singers @ Lee College. Upon completing her degree Teri worked in corporate America in the family business.
Though successful in business, Teri felt the call to return to her passion of singing, teaching, and mentoring/coaching. Now some thirty eight years later, she has traveled extensively around the world with ministries such as Nancy Harmon and Carl Richardson. Teri has appeared on TBN, PTL and several other local radio and television broadcasts. She has served in various areas of ministry in five local churches, including North Cleveland Church of God.
Teri has three beautiful children, Marc (31) Danielle (30) and Trevor (28), a son in law Taylor (32) daughter in law Kelsey (28) and they reside in Cleveland, TN. She has raised all three children alone since they were very small. Jesus Christ is the center of their world, and they wake up every day believing God for a miracle for Marc who has a life long disability, Autism. When asked frequently about this difficult situation, Teri’s response is always the same: “I believe that the blood of Jesus paid the price for Marc’s healing and that he will be healed. However, I believe that the most important thing to God is the building of our character, and I only want the miracle when God has completed the work in our family that He knows must be accomplished.”
Teri brings Scripture alive through humor and modern day application. Whether a scholar or new born believer, the Holy Spirit will bring you to a place of soul searching reality. Teri’s personal life experiences have caused her to embrace pain and move beyond it through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Currently Teri serves as Global Director of Jesus Saves Network. JSN reaches over 182 nations online and has a concentrated ministry in Nepal with 36 Bible Schools.
