Throughout their ministry, Terry and Naomi Tipps have pioneered and pastored four growing churches ...three in Tennessee and Oklahoma and another in Spain where they served as Missionaries. In addition to pastoring, they led an evangelism outreach in southern Spain with over 300 students who studied evangelism and discipleship. In 1992, they returned to the U.S. to begin the Spanish department at ICI University in Irving, TX. In 1996, they began serving ICI as church ministry specialists to over 600 learning centers in the United States, as well as helping to establish and teach at learning centers overseas.

In June of 2000, they accepted the challenge to plant a new church, Grace Covenant Assembly of God in Hurst, TX. The church's first service was held on July 9, 2000 and the church is experiencing steady growth.

The Tipps have two children. Their daughter, Zaneta, and her husband Roger are assisting Grace Covenant Assembly as the worship leader and sound technician, respectively, and have three children, Grayson, Spencer, and Hannah. Their son, Stephen, and his wife Amber are the worship leaders at Plum Creek Community Church in Denver, CO, where they live with their two children Terran and Lexie.
