Terry Spradlin is the founder of Hidden Treasures Ministries, Inc. and Hidden Treasures Publishing, Broadcasting & Journalism. With a heart for ministry, women, storytelling, and preserving the experiences that shape our lives, Terry believes every woman carries God-given gifts and a story worth sharing.
For more than three decades, Terry has served in ministry, missions, teaching, community outreach, publishing, and leadership. Her desire is to encourage women to discover their purpose, strengthen their faith, recognize the value of their own experiences, and use their voices to impact others.
Through Hidden Treasures, Terry continues to bring together her love for ministry, writing, journalism, genealogy, and storytelling—helping women not only discover the treasures within themselves, but also preserve their faith, memories, wisdom, and stories for generations to come.
Hidden Treasures Ministries, Inc. (HTMI) is a Christ-centered nonprofit ministry dedicated to empowering, equipping, encouraging, and connecting women through biblical teaching, fellowship, spiritual development, storytelling, and community outreach.
Our foundation comes from Matthew 6:21:
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
We believe God has placed unique gifts, experiences, wisdom, purpose, and a story within every woman. Hidden Treasures exists to help women discover those treasures, grow in their relationship with Christ, develop meaningful relationships with one another, and use what God has placed within them to make a difference in their families, churches, communities, and future generations.
Hidden Treasures carries out its mission through two primary areas:
Our Women’s Ministry provides opportunities for women to grow spiritually, build lasting friendships, discover their God-given purpose, and encourage one another through every season of life.
Throughout the year, women come together for:
Bible studies and biblical teaching
Monthly gatherings and fellowship
Retreats and conferences
Special events and activities
Regional meetings
Prayer and spiritual development
Community outreach and service
We want Hidden Treasures to be a place where women feel welcomed, valued, encouraged, and inspired to become all God has called them to be.
Every woman has a story, and we believe those stories matter.
Through Hidden Treasures Publishing, Broadcasting & Journalism, we provide opportunities to preserve and share stories, testimonies, wisdom, faith, and experiences through the written word and media.
We encourage and develop books, devotionals, testimonies, personal stories, family histories, study materials, and other inspirational works that preserve faith, memories, and life experiences for future generations.
Through interviews, video, podcasts, livestreaming, Bible studies, ministry programming, and other forms of media, we seek to carry messages of faith, hope, encouragement, and inspiration beyond the walls of our local gatherings.
Through articles, interviews, newsletters, blogs, photographs, and storytelling, we seek to document the people, ministries, communities, and stories that deserve to be remembered.
We especially have a heart for preserving the stories of women whose wisdom, memories, and experiences might otherwise never be recorded.
Sometimes that treasure is a gift.
Sometimes it is a testimony.
Sometimes it is wisdom gained through a lifetime.
Sometimes it is a story that simply needs someone to ask the right questions.
At Hidden Treasures, we want women to know that their lives matter, their voices matter, and their stories matter.
Every woman has a story. Every story has value. Every life leaves a legacy.
Hidden Treasures Ministries, Inc.
Hidden Treasures Publishing, Broadcasting & Journalism
To provide a Christ-centered environment where women can grow spiritually, develop meaningful relationships, discover their God-given gifts and purpose, and find opportunities to use those gifts to serve others.
Through publishing, broadcasting, and journalism, we also seek to preserve and share stories of faith, wisdom, testimony, and life experiences so they can encourage others and leave a legacy for generations to come.
Our vision is to see women strengthened in their faith, confident in their God-given purpose, connected to one another, and empowered to make a difference wherever God has placed them.
We envision Hidden Treasures continuing to grow beyond local gatherings—using ministry, publishing, broadcasting, journalism, education, and storytelling to reach women and preserve their voices for future generations.
