Terry was born in Bowling Green, Kentucky. He made a profession of faith at age nine, and surrendered to the ministry at age 19. Terry married his wife, Laurie, in 1977. They have two adult children, Carrie Beth and Jeremy.

Terry has a passion for authentic, blended worship and a special interest in music for children. "Children make a natural connection with music. We can use that connection to help children connect with God for life." He is a long-time children's music specialist, curriculum writer, conference leader and composer. He is also active in Dothan as a volunteer in local schools, Habitat for Humanity and the Cultural Arts Center.

Terry has a unique way of building teams and helping people develop and use their talents in worship and ministry. "Get 'em started and get out of their way!" is one of his favorite mottos. People who work closely with Terry often hear him say: "Embrace the chaos!" Wonderful ministry opportunities come to those who are flexible and persistent enough to break free of rigid structures and make people a priority.
