Tepton is no newcomer in her service to UCM. She has been with the church since 1992 and served as a Sunday school teacher, was a deacon, a member of the Women's Auxiliary (before it became Women's Ministry and later Fellowship and Membership Ministry), a member of Missions and Benevolence (M&B) Committee in charge of annual Missions Fair activities, and served on Council as Corporate Secretary twice in 1996 and from 2013-2015. Her deep faith in Jesus and a commitment to serve Him attests to her willingness to use her gifts once again, this time for the M&B Ministry.
