Teresa Vice -  Women's Ministry

He loves me, He loves me not, I’m accepted, I’m accepted not – that was my Christian walk for the past 30 years. It all began in 1962 at an “old time revival” meeting and from that moment on I did every thing I could to keep my self saved and win God’s approval. My salvation depended on me and my performance. I obey therefore I’m accepted. Then, here at The Well, I heard the Gospel message – Jesus – not a stack of rules – just Jesus and what He has done for me. And now - I’m accepted therefore I obey! The unique self-image that the Gospel has place in my life is that “ I am more wicked then I dared believe but more loved and accepted in Christ then I ever dared hope.”

Church administration keeps me busy but my heart is in Women’s Ministry and being the Mother at The Well! I have many adopted sons, daughters and grandchildren! I love conversation over a cup of coffee, books, old movies, sewing, crocheting, the view of the Portland riverfront at night, long walks on the beach and my grandchildren.

Family

Tom is my incredible husband who for the past 40 years has put up with me and taught me much about laughter and enjoying life. We have 3 amazing sons and daughter-in-laws serving God, Tom and Halea Pastors of Lifehouse in SE Portland, Tim and Brooke serving at Lifehouse, Travis and Erin serving as Worship Pastor at the Well and in the beginning stages of planting a church in the Gateway area of Portland, and the joys in our life – our grandchildren – Eleanor, Tommy, Frances, Elliot , Ezra, Eli, Nehemiah and Jude.

Quote

I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth. ~ 3 John 4
