Introducing Phanuella Tettey, Christ Church International
Upon meeting Phanuella Tettey, Assistant Treasurer and Assistant Administrator with Christ Church International, you will immediately sense her joy for life and love for The Lord. Her kind and helpful demeanor are apparent as she is an empathetic listener and extends warmth, laughter, and acceptance to everyone she meets.
Born in Ghana, Phanuella came to the United States in 2013 and originally planted roots in New York. She enlisted in the Army and reported for basic training at Fort Jackson, Columbia, South Carolina in 2015. Within the same year, upon her Army Medical Discharge, she landed in Columbus, Ohio. Phanuella attended Nursing and Midwifery College in Ghana and earned her Associates Nursing Degree. She decided to earn her RN Certification in the U.S. to continue her Nursing career. “I love to talk with my patients and educate them about the preventative measures they can take to ensure a healthy recovery and reduce readmission or relapses in their health. Providing patients with solid information to base their medical decisions upon is important to me.”
On the ‘business-side’.....
Since 2007, Phanuella has been caring for others through Home-Health contract work, a Nursing position at Ohio Health, and currently as a Registered Nurse at CSL Plasma Donation Center. “During the pandemic, I volunteered at the Franklin County & Columbus Medical Reserve Corps and donated my time to relieve other medical professionals who were overwhelmed with administering vaccinations.”
One evening, while attending a business program meeting, Phanuella was introduced to 3 Members of Christ Church International and they were immediately drawn to her positivity and encouraged her to visit a service. She did so and loved the enthusiasm and acceptance she experienced and knew that she just found her church home. Initially, Phanuella joined the Music Worship Ministry and due to her self-less nature and willingness to serve, she was asked to join the Leadership Team as Assistant Treasurer and Assistant Administrator.
As a member of the Leadership Team....
As a member of the Leadership Team, she encourages new ministries such as Men’s Groups, Women’s Groups and Youth Groups. “I understand the importance of small groups, listening and collaboration. Through these groups we bring souls to Christ, and we are excited about the lives we can lift-up and introduce to the Kingdom. Our members are strong in their faith, and we intentionally sponsor outreach events and engage with the community. Community events are designed as steppingstones to share the Gospel, to connect with others, and to invite those we meet to our Sunday afternoon services.”
Phanuella Tettey is a devoted Woman of God ...
Phanuella Tettey is a devoted Woman of God who gains Devine strength by reading The Word, both in the morning and evening. “I don’t worry about tomorrow! According to Matthew 6:34, ‘Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Sharing the Gospel and being a source of happiness and inspiration to others is when Phanuella shines and is at her best. As she likes to say, “It is not going to be easy, but it is going to be worth it!”
