Pastor Theresa Tavernier is fulfilling her life’s calling as a servant of God by bringing the Gospel of Christ to people in need of the Savior. Born and raised in a Christian home, the teachings of Jesus captivated and compelled her to share His Truth through her gifts of music and exhortation. She is currently serving as the Senior Pastor and Founder of Remnant Church International, Inc. in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Pastor Tavernier, affectionately known as “Pastor Tee,” developed an unusual passion for the things of God and His house at a young age and sought Him in the Word and in worship. She began using her musical talents by singing in church and school choirs, and later as an accomplished percussionist. She was blessed to perform with legendary artists such as the Late Rev. James Cleveland, the Late Timothy Wright, “Commissioned,” and many more. Her career culminated as the head percussionist for Jesus People Ministries Church International in Miami Gardens, Florida under the leadership of the Late Bishop Isaiah S. Williams and Co-Pastor, Dr. Gloria Y. Williams.

Pastor Tavernier’s desire to spread the Lord’s truth throughout the world led her to establish Saved Magazine as Publisher and Founder in 2003. The magazine was noted for hard-news stories on issues impacting contemporary Christian living such as End-Time prophecies, deliverance, homosexuality, and occultism. Saved also spotlighted Gospel music trendsetters, legends, and celebrities who are born-again believers. Saved regularly offered common-sense advice on health, fitness, and finance. As proof of God’s blessing on this endeavor, Saved’s distribution grew to reach thousands of households in over 45 nations.

Surprisingly, successes in the Christian music and journalism industries sparked an emerging urge to preach the Gospel. After performing with many powerful Men and Women of God, and while engaging them in interviews, forming bonds and walking with them in private fellowship, impartation was happening. Visions, dreams, and interpretations of dreams led to sermons and teachings she would rehearse in her head and later write on tablets until it was undeniable. At last, it was irresistible. “You know I want you to do more; you may not stay in your comfort zone.” She had heard His voice and accepted His call.
