First and foremost, I give honor to God. I also extend my deepest gratitude to Apostles Milford and Evelyn Carter and my Sanctuary Evangelist Church family for this incredible recognition. I am truly humbled and grateful.
Allow me to introduce myself—I am Terrye Townes, affectionately known as Aunt Terrye. I have been a proud member of Sanctuary Evangelist Church for over 35 years, serving in various capacities, including:
- Deaconess
- Sunday School Teacher
- Choir Member
- President of the Women’s Department
- Chairperson of Benevolence
- New Member Activation Coordinator (most recently accepted role)
I am the widow of the late Elder Larry Townes, who was also a devoted member of Sanctuary for many years. Together, we built a legacy of faith and service. I am a loving mother to two wonderful daughters, Terjuana and Termaka, and a proud mother-in-law to Wendell Brooks II.
But above all, I am a Child of God, devoted to His will and passionate about His work. My heart belongs to the Lord, and it is my greatest joy to serve Him and my church family.
