Pastor Dick Terry was born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1971.  He is the oldest of three children. His parents are Richard and Thelma Terry of Duncanville, Texas.  His father has been a Free Will Baptist Pastor for over 30 years.  He received salvation at an early age and has remained committed to the Lord.  While in high school, Dick participated in various music groups and school plays.  Without a second thought, Dick went to Hillsdale Free Will Baptist College in Moore, OK.  It was there that he answered the call to full-time service to the Lord.

At Hillsdale College, he met Teresia Roebuck of Gerty, OK.  They married December 7, 1991.  Teresia works as a full-time RN at Norman Regional Hospital in Norman, OK.  Bro. Dick and Teresia are the proud parents of Mattie (1/17/99) and Jett (7/12/06). 

On May 12, 1995, Bro. Dick graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Theology and several A.A. degrees.  He also won the Theology Academic Award from Hillsdale College.  Later that year, he took his first full-time position at the Sulphur First Free Will Baptist Church as Youth and Music Minister.  Following his ministry in Sulphur, Bro. Dick served as Youth and Music Minster in serveral churches in Oklahoma and Arkansas. 

In 2007, the Lord opened the door for Bro. Dick and his family to move back to Sulphur as the Senior Pastor at the First Free Will Baptist Church.  He is passionate about the faithful proclamation of God's Word, and is deeply committed to praying, providing oversight, and caring for th members of Sulphur First.
