Ladies- please join us for RENEW, an event specifically designed for you to take a break from the stress of life's demands and come recharge, refocus, and be renewed through the means of worship, encouraging testimonies, studying God's Word, and sweet fellowship with other women. We are excited to see what God has in store for this special day!

Tara Dew is a national speaker, author, and Bible teacher. She has loved Jesus for as long as she can remember, trusting Him to be her Savior at the age of five years old at a Billy Graham Crusade. She felt called to ministry in the high school youth group, where she also met her husband, Jamie. They have been married for 25 years and have been blessed with two sets of twins: Natalie & Nathan and Samuel & Samantha. Her primary ministry is to her family, as many hours of each day are spent homeschooling their four children.

Tara holds a Bachelors of Arts in Human Communication (2003) from Meredith College, a Master of Arts in Teaching and Learning Elementary Education (2012) from Liberty University and a Doctorate in Education (2018) from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Tara is the President’s wife, serving the students, staff, and faculty of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Her first book, Overflowing Joy, was released in February 2024 and her second book, Overflowing Peace, will be coming out spring 2026.

Through all of the ministry opportunities, two of Tara's passions have remained the same: God’s Word and women!
