Terry Coy

Terry Coy is from Oklahoma City but grew up in Chile, the son of Baptist missionaries. He was saved at age 7, then returned to Oklahoma City at age 16 to finish high school and attend college. After a few years of struggling with his faith, Terry’s relationship with God began to grow in 1980. In 1986 he joined a Biblical counseling practice in Oklahoma City. The Coys moved to Fort Worth in 1992 to study at Southwestern Seminary, where he earned a Master of Divinity and Ph.D. 

Terry, Sandy, and their two now-grown daughters joined Travis in 1992. Terry and Sandy have been members ever since - except for a couple of years when they worked with a small church plant in Arlington. At Travis and elsewhere, Terry has served as a deacon, Sunday School teacher, director of discipleship, decision counselor, and choir member. For many years at Travis, his direct involvement was limited by his work with, first, the Tarrant Baptist Association (director of church planting) and then the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention (state director of missions). Today, Terry teaches adjunctly at Southwestern, B.H. Carroll Theological Institute and Missional University. He also occasionally preaches in other churches and at Travis.
