Teal & Tina Wheeler
Children’s Education
Teal and Tina Wheeler bring a wealth of experience to the Children’s Education program here at Open Door Church. Before relocating to Suffolk, they served in their former church as Children’s Ministers for three years and as Youth Pastors for eight years. The Wheelers started their walk with Christ in 1997 after a friend helped them to restore their marriage and family. Both Teal and Tina are Spirit-filled Bible-believing Christians with a heart for building the body of Christ from cradle to the grave in any capacity that God places before them.
Teal wants all ages of kids, from infants to teenagers, to know that there is nothing they cannot do with Christ (Phil. 4:13). Tina has the heart of a mother for all children and cares for each as her own. She believes that all kids have a purpose and it is our job to guide and direct them to this spirit-filled purpose (Jer. 1:5).
The Wheelers’ personal vision statement is “Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it” (Hebrews 13:1-2). They believe that no one is beyond Christ’s love and everyone needs a mentor to help them along life’s path.
Teal and Tina reside in Suffolk with their three children.
