Dew and his wife Tara are the parents of two sets of twins – Natalie and Nathan, Samantha and Samuel.
Tara Dew
Tara Dew is a national speaker, author, and Bible teacher. She has loved Jesus for as long as she can remember, trusting Him to be her Savior at the age of five years old at a Billy Graham Crusade. She felt called to ministry in the high school youth group, where she also met her husband, Jamie. They have been married for 25 years and have been blessed with two sets of twins: Natalie & Nathan and Samuel & Samantha. Her primary ministry is to her family: loving and serving Jamie, supporting and encouraging their college kids, and continuing to homeschool two of their four children.
Tara holds a Bachelors of Arts in Human Communication (2003) from Meredith College, a Master of Arts in Teaching and Learning Elementary Education (2012) from Liberty University and a Doctorate in Education (2018) from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Tara’s dissertation was entitled Survive or Thrive: An Exploration of the Preparedness of Southern Baptist Pastors’ Wives.
Tara is the President’s wife, serving the students, staff, and faculty of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. She teaches as an adjunct professor in the Ministry to Women program. She also directs and teaches in THRIVE: A Ministry Wives Certificate Program at NOBTS. Her first book, Overflowing Joy, was released in February 2024, and her second book, Overflowing Peace, was released in January 2026. She is also the author of a 10-week Bible study with Lifeway Women called Fruit of the Spirit: Growing in the Likeness of God (releasing May 2027).
Through all of the ministry opportunities, two of Tara’s passions have remained the same: God’s Word and women!
