Terry Keller serves as Senior Warden at St James Church. She has lived at Cedar Creek for over 20 years.
Before coming to Cedar Creek she was a teacher for 28 years. When her father, Al Waldrep, passed away in 2005, she moved to Cedar Creek Lake to be with her Mom, Denise Waldrep, and continue my teaching until retirement in 2012. Terry became an Episcopalian with her mom when she was in high school. She has two children, Brooke Ramsay who lives in Mt.Vernon, Tx and with her four children and a son Blake Bowen who has 3 children. Terry’s free time is spent with her grandchildren and she also spends a lot of time at the gym. She is trying to stay fit in her 70’s! Serving St James has been life-changing for me and I am so grateful to Mother Elizabeth for seeing something in me that I surely did not see. God wants us all to serve Him in our own way and it has helped me to see myself in a new light. I look forward to serving St. James more in the future.

I was blessed to have been raised by Godly parents and I gave my life to Jesus and was baptized at age nine. I was blessed again with a work family of architects for twenty-six years as their bookkeeper/administrative assistant and sometimes “mom”. After I retired, I wanted to be involved in a neighborhood church. My son pointed out that St. James was less than a mile from my house. In November of 2023 I was confirmed at St. James on the Lake Episcopal Church. St. James has given me an opportunity to be a part of their many outreach programs, participate in book studies, assist in communion as a Chalice Bearer and serve on the Vestry.
Linda was born and raised in rural East Texas in the First Baptist Church tradition. She was baptized in that local church, and it pretty much defined her social world which was common in rural areas. She was introduced to the Episcopal church in college where she became associated with a group of young Christians that ran a coffee house on Friday nights. They were largely influenced by the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Houston and visited there often. This was the 70’s – we sat on the floor in a circle, sang songs, testified and shared our lives. We lived in communal households and strived to live out our Christian faith and commitment every day. She eventually married one of the members in 1977 and they moved to a community in Colorado that was a special ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Denver; again, living their faith in a very real day-to-day communal experience of sharing and worship. They eventually left the community to move back closer to family in Texas. After a period of being unchurched they returned to the church – this time to the Episcopal church. The liturgy always spoke to her soul and brought people together in worship and ministry in a way that she missed. St. James was that church. She has been a member since 2011. She is a retired schoolteacher. Much of her retirement is spent travelling (a lifelong desire). When she is not travelling, she’s usually at St. James doing her part to be the face of Jesus for our community.
