Tenille Paulsen

I have been blessed to follow Jesus since I was a child, and my faith continues to shape how I live, serve, and work. I have a deep desire to see people experience the love of God in practical and meaningful ways, especially in places that are often overlooked or difficult. I am married to Graham, and we have been attending Glad Tidings for over 15 years; it has been a house where our family has grown in faith and community. We have two adult children who are now married, along with our teenage daughter at home who is part of GT.

We are enjoying this season of family life, with two grandchildren and one more on the way. Professionally, I work as an emergency physician and in correctional medicine, providing care in both a local hospital and the prison system. I seek to live each day on mission - loving God and loving people in practical ways wherever I am placed. This work has shaped my perspective on humility, dignity, and the need for hope and restoration in Jesus.

At GT, I serve on the prayer team and have been involved in Lift Kids, Flipside, Fuse, and GTYA, as well as leading adult and young adult small groups. I am passionate about discipleship, leadership development, helping people discover and walk in their calling, and connecting the church with the broader community in meaningful, mission-focused ways. It would be an honour to serve on the Board and contribute to what God is continuing to do at Glad Tidings.
