Pastor Theresa A. McFaddinAffectionately named after both of her parents, Theresa grew up against the odds... Black, female, sickly, but not defeated! When the world said she would never be considered naturally attractive, she decided to become Supernaturally Attractive! Theresa is an unparalleled Bible teacher that travels across the country offering keys of freedom to those bound in rejection and insecurity. She searches for "peculiar people" and gives them hope for living. Known for her testimony of conquering many physical challenges, beginning with being born with three fingers on each hand and orthopedic discrepancies with the length of her legs, she has truly fought for her identity in Christ!

While a student at Howard University, Theresa served as an intern and worked for the National Right to Life Committee. It was during this time that she began to develop her skills as a speaker, writer, and encourager for people who have been dumped on the trash piles of life. Years later, Theresa returned to California and earned her bachelors degree from Azusa Pacific University in Business Management with a minor in Biblical Studies. After being mentored by many powerful Christian leaders, serving in ministry for several years, and preaching the gospel with full authority, Theresa was licensed and ordained in November 1997. She then served as the Youth Pastor at the Straight Gate Church in Detroit, Michigan under Bishop Andrew Merritt.

Rev. McFaddin has also served as a member of the Christian Entertainers Fellowship Board of Directors under the leadership of Pastor Frank Wilson in Los Angeles, California, and also the Hopes House Christian Ministries of Northridge, California where she assisted the ministry during their first year of church development. She recently completed a passionate decade of work as the founding President of Sisters Inspiring Sisters (referred to as SiS), an organization designed to offer spiritual support and training for young adult women (between the ages of 20 and 35) and involve them in community service. The group offered on-call counseling, weekly discipleship classes, monthly Bible study and prayer, quarterly service events, and also sponsored the infamous, annual summer retreat, "A Date with God", in Phoenix, Arizona gathering women from all over the country.

Her very specific focus on mentoring young adult women required extensive research and development of uncommon ministry materials. As a result Theresa is the author of two books: Supernaturally Attractive for single men and women, and SavedSexyCool for the young adult contemporary woman. In addition, she has written an in-depth one-year discipleship curriculum, which is the foundation of the distinctive weekly discipleship class called Me Management. Me Management became the first ever intensive discipleship program geared specifically towards the young, fast-paced, urban audience. It includes intensive biblical training through memorization, homework and life application. Women are challenged in critical life development for proper peer relationships and spiritual accountability to the call of bearing the name of Christ. Since its formation, Me Management has been taught in churches and ministries in Los Angeles, Northridge, Pasadena, and San Francisco, California graduating several classes of women tough enough to complete the vigorous and demanding work.

Although she is often mistaken by her peers as too young and unassuming, she is full of focus, anointing, and direction in regards to God's purpose for her life. With limited resources and lots of guts and initiative, Rev. Theresa McFaddin has dug deep into the urban fabric of this nation trailblazing effort often untapped by any other young adult woman in the Body of Christ. This little 4' 11" package of a lady holds a big surprise for those who are blessed to experience her distinctive teaching, training and mentoring gifts! Theresa is the daughter of author and Evangelist Terri McFaddin-Solomon. She presently resides in Atlanta, GA with her very precious dogs, Peace & Joy!
