Tetyana was baptized in Ukraine shortly after Perestroika in 2002 after an American missionary established the Good News Church in her hometown of Kahrkov. Since becoming a Christian, Tetyana has grown to not only love the Lord but has developed a dependent relationship with the Father. Her faith permeates her entire life. It governs the type of mother she is, how she supports her husband and how she conducts business.

Tetyana grew up in the former Soviet Union with no religious freedom; watching followers of Christ suffer persecution. This experience shaped her perspective. She understands the importance of the presence of God in society and the great dysfunction that results when there is no God present. This experience and her personal transformation made her a strong advocate for Christian family values. Tetyana attends two churches weekly, one with her family, The Life Church on Huffman and New Chance which offers services in her native language of Russian. For the last ten years, Tetyana has attended and hosted weekly Bible studies in her home. Tetyana is a Conservative Republican.
