Terri Shown

Custodian

My husband, Zack, and I have called Osage Hills our church home since 2014. Zack serves as an elder, and together we’re raising our five kids here at the Lake. Our family has also been shaped by adoption, which brought Taiwan into our family story. I’ve spent much of the last several years homeschooling our kids and serving at Osage Hills in a variety of ways.



These days, you’ll often find me at the church when hardly anyone else is around! I serve as the custodian at Osage Hills, a job I’ve come to see as its own kind of ministry. It’s an honor to care for the spaces where our church family gathers. I often pray over the rooms as I clean them and fill the empty halls with worship music while I work. There’s something pretty special about getting to quietly prepare a place for people before they ever walk through the doors.



Outside of work and church, I love spending time with my family, painting and creating, reading good books, learning new things, and planning our next adventure. More than anything, I’m grateful for the people God has placed in my life and for the many different ways He gives us to love and serve one another.
