Laurie Cole is the Founder and President of Priority Ministries, a ministry dedicated to encouraging and equipping women to love God most and seek Him first. Raised in a strong Christian home, Laurie became a Christian at an early age. But in her early twenties, God tested and taught her the importance of truly giving Him priority in her life. In 1985, Laurie enrolled in an in-depth women's Bible study. Encouraged by the older women who led the study, Laurie received training and began teaching and leading a group where God affirmed His call upon her life to teach. For over 20 years, Laurie has taught dozens of Bible studies, spoken at numerous women's events and conferences, and is the author of five Bible studies: There Is A Season, The Temple, Beauty by The Book, Beauty by The Book for Teens, and Warrior Princess. Her passion for God and hunger for His Word continues to grow. A minister's wife, Laurie and her husband, Bill, serve the Lord at Sagemont Church in Houston, Texas, where he is the Associate Pastor of Worship and Praise. They have been married for 36 years and have three sons (David, Kevin, and J.J.), two beloved daughters in law (Stephanie and Rachael), and three glorious grandchildren (Ezra, Juliette, and Caroline).
