Pastor Terri Church recently moved to Pittsburgh after twelve years of ministry in the Virginia Synod. A native of Texas, she later headed east to attend Princeton Theological Seminary. Over nearly three decades of ordained ministry, Pastor Terri has served in a variety of urban and suburban contexts, including New York City and a three-year mission call in Transylvania, Romania.

Beyond congregational life, Pastor Terri stays engaged through community activities such as Habitat for Humanity, theater, and pickleball. She treasures time with her husband, Michael, and their college-aged child, Pidge—whether hiking in the mountains or enjoying sci-fi, mythology, and superhero stories together. An enthusiastic singer and dancer, she finds joy in everything from church music and musicals to classic rock and roll, and she is excited to explore all that Pittsburgh has to offer.
