About Ted W Harris

A husband for over 35 years (and counting) with 3 adults who refer to me as ‘Dad’. Recently gaining the title of Father-in-Law and PapaTed (Papatato). I have experienced the ups and downs of family life. A leader in local churches for over 35 years. Serving as senior pastor, youth pastor and assistant pastor in solo pastorates and a part of large teams has enabled me to experience many facets of leadership. My desire is to help others grow and develop as followers of Jesus and leaders in his church. I find great joy watching someone realize their God given ability to impact this world. Life is a journey and it is best travelled together. Join me on this spiritual journey. We both have a lot more to learn.
