Over the past 25 years, Pastor Terrilyn Franklin has proven herself as a faithful woman of God with a powerful witness. I have seen her transparently model God’s design for marriage, parenting, and serving others with grace and wisdom.

While reserved in nature, Pastor Terrilyn’s kind and loving spirit immediately sets those around her at ease. In difficult seasons, she has counseled, prayed for, and encouraged me unconditionally. Her ability to speak truth with compassion is a rare gift.

Pastor Terrilyn challenges people to grow spiritually and reach their highest potential, while making sure they feel valued, not judged. She embodies the fruits of the spirit, discipling others through patience, kindness, and love.

I am deeply thankful for the immeasurable ways Pastor Terrilyn has blessed my life over decades of friendship. She is a treasure – a woman of God with a gentle yet mighty witness that has guided countless people closer to Christ. The body of Christ thrives under Pastor Terrilyn’s sincere care and servant leadership.

With gratitude,
