OUR TEAM

Ted White is a passionate leader, trainer, and author who has dedicated his life to advancing the cause of reconciliation, oneness, diversity, and community mobilization and development.

Born in Clarksville, Tennessee, Ted moved to North Carolina in 1989 to co-launch the Institute for Multicultural Education and Training at Lenoir-Rhyne College, under the leadership of Dr. Forrest Toms and Ms. Jackie Brown.

Since then, Ted has served as an executive leader, pastor, consultant, and curriculum developer with over 40 years of experience in community development, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and faith-based initiatives. He has helped secure over $120 million for various public and private sector clients in the U.S. and abroad.

Ted is also the founder and director of the BODY Institute, an equipping ministry that trains clients to pursue oneness, value diversity, and mobilize resources, with a focus on developing a network of Micro-Ministry Leadership Teams in North Carolina to partner with, identify care needs, provide resources, and to transform at-risk and under-resourced residents, students, and families.

Ted holds a B.S. degree from Austin Peay State University and an M.S. degree from the University of Memphis. He is married to Pam (Phifer) White, and they have two children, Psalms and T.J.

Charlotte-Based and Wilmington-Based BODY Teams, September - December 2023

In partnership with our Charlotte-Based BODY Team, we plan to successfully complete our pilot phase of six conversations on the Ministry of Reconciliation in Charlotte, NC by the end of November 2023. These conversations are designed to help participants move from a state of disunity to a state of unity with God and one another. We are grateful for the feedback and insights we received from our pilot group, and we are working on revising and improving our curriculum. In partnership with our Charlotte-Based and Wilmington-Based BODY Teams, we plan to offer and facilitate the Ministry of Reconciliation Conversations with families, churches, ministries, neighborhoods, and schools in the Wilmington, NC and Charlotte, NC areas beginning January 2024.
