Teresa Harding - "Rise" Released 2005

Teresa, a native of Durham, North Carolina grew up with a love for music. While most young people were into sports, music, dancing, and just being around their peers, Teresa was singing and writing her own music at an early age. This music blossomed into her adulthood. Once she gave her life to the Lord, she continued to sing and to minister to other people as well. Her sultry voiced has healed and comforted many broken hearts, and people who are hurting. Songs of encouragement and songs of joy are sung to uplift any and everyone who is in attendance.

As Teresa writes songs, she writes them with others in mind, how they may be comforted, healed, and blessed through her music. Teresa worships at the Word of Faith Christian Community Church, under the leadership of Apostle Eugene McNeal. In her motto, she exemplifies Christ in her singing: "Serving the Lord with gladness and coming before His presence with singing." (Psalm 100:1 revised). This is the principle she continuously lives by.

With Teresa's vocal style the audience is first captivated by her style of singing, and then her voice. Teresa's voice is one that reaches into the depths of your soul. It is a cross between Dottie Peoples and Gladys Knight. Teresa is an ordained Evangelist, a praise and worship leader, a minister and an intercessor for others. As Teresa sings, her music is used as a conduit to minister and to lead others to Christ. Teresa has been married for eleven (11) years and lives in Durham, North Carolina with her husband.
