After serving as Southeast's Nursery Coordinator, Tara felt the call to move into full time children's ministry. She has spent most of her life serving and teaching others more about Jesus. 

She attended Northeastern State University and graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education.  Tara is married to Jake, a Muskogee fireman, and together they enjoy time spent with their three daughters, Ella, Gracie, and Cate. 

Tara and Jake also enjoy camping, traveling, coffee and football season.
