Prentice H. Terrance
First Lady, Friendship Baptist Church

Prentice Horton Terrance, a woman of class, dignity and determination. God has richly blessed us with a down to earth, practical, yet friendly lady. Her love for her husband and children can be easily seen in the support she gives to each. Sister Terrance is a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana and was educated in the public schools of East Baton Rouge Parish. She received her Bachelor of Science Degree from Southern University in 1992, in Business Education. She was raised and adopted by her loving and devoted grandparents, the late Sterling, Sr. and Josephine Horton. Prentice is the eldest of three siblings, Tiffany Wright of Austin, TX and Patrick Wright of Charlotte, SC. Her birth mother is Carol Ann Horton of Baton Rouge, LA. Prentice married the Reverend James A. Terrance, Jr. on June 4, 1994 and God has blessed this union with two sons, Jalen Ashton and Tyler James.

While teaching for 10 years in the public school system, Sister Terrance co-sponsored “The Young Ladies Club” and TLC “Teens Living Clean.” Since her arrival at Friendship, she has continued her work with young girls and children. She organized the Ladies of Distinction ministry in 2003 for young girls ages 13-18. She has formerly served as Superintendent of the Primary Sunday School Department. She has initiated “The First Lady Luncheon” which is held twice a year for the women of our congregation. Prentice has also initiated the “True Love Waits” abstinence program focusing on teenagers of the church. She accepted the invitation to serve on the Board of Directors of the Friendship Community Development Corporation, a non-profit entity designed to engage in neighborhood development projects.
