Terry attended the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago earning his B.A. in 2001 and M.A. in 2003. In 2004 he married his “missing rib,” Eva, and they now have four children, Noah, Evie, Samuel and Ezra. After serving in student ministry for five years down south (in Nebraska), the Biers family returned to their home church, Parkview. Terry’s driving passion in youth ministry is to see Christ overflow from the lives of students and families as they discover that true satisfaction and lasting joy are found in Jesus Christ alone.
