Rev. Terrence Proctor
SENIOR PASTOR
Rev. Terrence Proctor attended Franklin High School and the University of Washington, where he earned a degree in political science. He married Arizona Johnson in 1995 and is the proud father of three children, Tavar, Erin, and Jordyn, and three grandchildren.
​
Pastor Proctor currently serves as Senior Pastor of Church By The Side of the Road (CBSR) in Tukwila, Washington.

Course, the Sling Shot All-City Youth Conference, and an Urban Missions Ministry.
​
God has used Pastor Proctor to preach across the United States and abroad. He has shared the Gospel in Mexico, Brazil, and throughout Africa. His passion is reconciling and restoring families to Christ through a ministry grounded in connection and impact. Committed to moving beyond the walls of the church, Pastor Proctor meets Christ’s people where they are. Through workshops, seminars, symposiums, and Life Skills Development courses taught at Franklin High School through The Breakfast Group’s Project M.I.S.T.E.R. program, he has been effective in reaching at-risk youth, restoring families, and reconciling lives to Christ.
Throughout the Seattle area, Pastor Proctor has consistently put feet to his faith. He has served on several boards, including as Chairman of the King County Juvenile Detention Advisory Board; the In It Together Board, a coalition of twelve partnering churches providing emergency care and resources throughout Seattle; and The Austin Foundation Board, a youth fitness organization. He is also the founder and Chairman of Rally for Hope, now in its eleventh year, a cross-cultural collaborative movement uniting young Christians across the Puget Sound region in a tapestry of praise.​​​
Pastor Proctor has received numerous awards and recognitions throughout his ministry, including the 2014 Seattle Chamber of Commerce Living Legacy Award, the 2014 American Diabetes Association Community Father of the Year Award (Seattle), the 2014 Franklin High School Parent of the Year Award, The Breakfast Group’s Outstanding Counselor Award, and a Certificate of Excellence upon completion of the Academy of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) requirements.
​
In the summer of 2014, Pastor Proctor participated in a Journey to Oxford, studying the art of preaching at the University of Oxford in Oxford, England. From that experience, the book Athens & Oxford Sermons (10th Anniversary Edition) was published, to which he was honored to contribute.
​
Above all, Pastor Proctor desires to be found faithful to the work God has called him to. He preaches and serves with the conviction that his ultimate audience is One, the Lord.
