    “As a girl and young woman, I longed to be loved and have friends. Fast forward many years through a broken past, I had an amazing encounter with the Lord. He loved me and became my friend. I’m now blessed with a husband, daughter, and son-in-law to love. I’ve been given friends and a love to bring that same love and friendship to other women.

  • Teri Radcliff

    WORSHIP DIRECTOR/ALL THINGS WEB

    From a very young age, I knew the Lord and His tangible presence. I grew a love for God’s people and a deep desire to follow God’s ways in my life. I lost my Father at a very young age, and the security of my earthly father had left,  but I continued to grow in God’s word and knowledge of his love for me and found a new comfort in my Heavenly Father. After my babies were born, I had prayed for a new group of friends that would be like-minded and seated with Christ to encourage one another during that stage of life. Little did I know that He would open the floodgates of new friendships. Simply Chosen has been a blessing of sisterhood to me allowing me to walk alongside other women in ministry. 


  • Tina Lombard

    Financial Steward

    Resides in ChristianaTN. Married with five children, one married and one grand treasure.

    Even though I was raised in church, it was not until adulthood that I understood what it meant to have a personal relationship with Christ. My walk has not always looked like it should, but it has shaped who I am. I am blessed to be part of the Simply Chosen team which is Christ centered and focused on pouring into other women.
