Terri McFarland
As the daughter of a preacher, Terri McFarland never dreamed of sharing her passion and love for Jesus Christ throughout the United States and across the world. After landing a head collegiate coaching job at 24, Terri set out to accomplish her goals. Although this plan included God - there was something missing.
Throughout her successful coaching career, Terri's heart continually desired a deeper relationship with God. However, it wasn't going to happen until she willingly gave Him control. After life changing losses, she sought the face of Jesus and longed to know the beat of His heart...and she learned, "If you seek Me you will find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13
Terri's dynamic style of communication and inspiring gift of song has enabled her to effectively share at women's retreats, singles events, on college campuses, during chapel services for Olympic & professional athletes and coaches, and at a variety of church functions for more than 20 years. She has worked with Dove Award winning musicians and performed at venues across the globe. Terri allows the richness of her voice to reveal the depth of her heart as heard in her newest worship album, A Quiet Place.
Through her own personal struggles and failures, Terri shares the hope of Jesus Christ. She is engaging, humorous and passionate as she brings to light the Gospel - encouraging others to develop a richer, more intimate relationship with God through Jesus.

It has been my pleasure to minister alongside Terri McFarland through the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Camps and Huddles for over 20 years. Through her music and athletics, she has lived out the gospel before thousands, young and old. I have watched Terri, on bended knee, as she told little girls of Jesus' love for them. I have also seen Terri before crowded venues singing of her love for her Savior. I consider Terri a valuable partner in the gospel of Jesus Christ!
