Lori Wood
Executive Director of Business Administration
Lori Wood is the Executive Director of Administration at First Pres. Growing up as a preacher’s kid, she realized that she needed to make her own decision of faith and did so on July 12, 1983 and was later baptized by her father. It was truly a special time. Growing up in a small town outside of Lubbock, Lori enjoyed track, basketball, and UIL events. She especially loved watching the Dallas Cowboys play football (another great love passed on by her dad). Lori also enjoys reading, stained glass, spending every moment she can spare with her hubby, and traveling!
Lori is married to David Wood, and they have five children (Celeste, Kristen, Naomi, Jarek and John Mark) and two amazing granddaughters (Trinity and Ember). Lori earned her undergrad from West Texas A&M University and completed her MBA at Wayland Baptist University in 2021. She has over 14 years of experience working with church finance and administration and over 25 years of experience in management.
Lori’s favorite verse is Isaiah 41:10: “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” What a comfort! It reminds us that God is our God and that He will strengthen us! We can count on Him, and He will never fail us. How wonderful and faithful is our God!
