Theresa Tippins

Theresa comes to us from Jacksonville where, in addition to running her own consulting business working with a variety of nonprofit social service organizations, she has been a program director for emergency family assistance for the Downtown Ecumenical Services Council, managing partner for 2T Consulting, and a site coordinator and student advocate for Communities In Schools of Jacksonville. She was also the primary caregiver of a loved one for nine years. Earlier in her career, she was engaged in business development for a bank and sales for a national company, but it was the work with families and students along with the Holy Spirit that led her to seek a new career working with children and youth. She will begin a three-year program at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary this summer run by the Ministry Leadership Center. A major element of that program is to serve an internship at a church and then every eight weeks attend intensive learning/training over a four-day period in Austin. We at Faith see this as an excellent partnership in melding graduate-level education with practical experience. Theresa is a graduate of Florida State University with a B.S. Degree in political science, earned an M.B.A. from the University of Northern Florida, and holds Certificates in both Nonprofit and Volunteer Management from Rollins College.
