Teleia is a loving, compassionate, and fiery young woman who loves the Lord, her family, and her church with all her heart. Teleia moved to Tucson from Washington State in April of 2019 and didn’t hesitate to get connected!

She is the Director of DWELL, Hope Church’s young adult ministry, and serves alongside her husband, Pastor Daron Bigby. Teleia loves spending time with her closest family and friends watching movies, playing board games, or just chilling in the pool when she’s not at the church.
