Terra Townsend has enjoyed the opportunity to serve in different roles at The Christ School, making a difference in each one. Currently, she serves as 6th Grade Bible and 6th & 7th Grade Latin teacher, as well as assisting the Academic Office with a variety of tasks. In January, she will also serve as TCS Chapel Coordinator, a role that is dear to her heart.
“I was the Children’s Pastor at Christ Church of Orlando (CCO) for over 12 ½ years and have been a teacher even longer,” says Terra. “Honestly, though, ministry wasn’t something I ever wanted to do as I come from a long line of pastors and did everything to avoid it. During graduate school in Pennsylvania, I came down to visit family and when God moves, He moves! While visiting, the opportunity presented itself for me to join the CCO staff. It was something I never thought I would ever do but, surprise!” she smiles.
Terra shares her favorite Bible verse: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.– Romans 8:28.
