BOARD MEMBER BIO
Terri Phelps—Treasurer
“I am passionate about seeing others through the lens of Jesus and believe the youth are the church of tomorrow and today.”
Terri moved to Lake Tahoe with her husband Mike in 2010. An aficionado of God’s handiwork, the move was a natural fit. In line with her love for Jesus and young people, she serves on the Lake Tahoe/Truckee Young Life board and occasionally gets to teach Sunday school.
Terri loves Sunday school because at five years of age, that’s where she asked Jesus into her heart. Her grandparents pioneered a Pentecostal church in Vallejo, CA. Attending there, as well as Walnut Creek Christian Academy and Berean Christian High School, yielded her a wide doctrinal spectrum. She is thankful to be a breast cancer survivor and appreciates the journey and learning experience.
Attending California State East Bay, she earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and obtained her teaching credential from Chapman University. She was an educational interpreter for the Deaf, taught middle school mathematics and music, high school mathematics and American Sign Language. She is currently working on her Master of Arts in Christian Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary.
She is most proud to be the mom of Aaron and Melissa; loves hanging out with them, signing (Aaron is Deaf), and appreciates their many artistic talents. Thankful for Children’s Oakland Hospitals expertise with her son and daughter, Terri spearheaded a group called The Grateful Families which raised money for Children’s Hospital in Oakland, CA. She is also the mom of two English Cream puppies and two beautiful rag-doll cats. She and her husband are retired but are considering going back to work because retirement is exhausting. They love to be on the water, fly-fish and argue about whose dog is the smartest or whose dog it was who made the latest mess.
