Pastor of Young Adults
thagans@twumc.org
Terence was born and raised in America’s Finest City—San Diego, CA. When he was 14, he found out that Jesus is awesome, and decided to become a Christian. Back in his high school days, he studied hard, pretended to be a wrestling superstar, and decided he wanted to become President of the United States of America. During his freshman year at Stanford University (don’t get too impressed… after all, he only majored in Sociology), Terence joined the Army Reserve and later Army ROTC. About a year before he graduated from college, he realized that God was calling him to be something much cooler than the President—he was calling him to become a pastor. He spent the next three years at Duke University’s Divinity School, where he studied theology during the day, and served as the RA for an undergrad fraternity at night. Now Terence has the best job on planet earth—he gets to hang out with young adults and spread God’s love all over the place. In his free time, Terence loves to run, watch movies and hang out with friends, talking about deep, interesting or random stuff late into the hours of the night. Among his more noble ambitions, Terence eagerly awaits the day when he will become the first preacher ever to be featured on the cover of GQ Magazine.
