A Time to Plant…

She was a member of the Church of the Living God under the leadership of her great grandfather, Bishop William "Bill" Sibley and later transferred her membership to the Lighthouse Church of the Living God under the leadership of her father, Bishop Willie B. Young, Jr. It was there she sung in the choir, taught Youth Sunday School, served as the church secretary, event coordinator and member of the missionary board. Tina was educated in Dougherty County School System where she was a proud graduate of Westover High School class of 1990.
