Lori Tipton

Deaconess

Lori Tipton has been part of the Northwood Church family since 1997. She and her husband, David, have been happily married for nearly 39 years and were blessed with three boys. Originally from Miami, their military journey took them to different states before they settled in South Carolina to raise their family. When Lori took a job at Northwood Daycare, they decided to visit Northwood Church—and they never looked back.

Their passion for serving led them to volunteer in the Royal Rangers Ministry (because, as Lori says, “three boys… duh!”). Helping raise up future Christian men has been one of their greatest joys, and they remain deeply committed to reaching, keeping, and discipling the next generation for Christ.

Lori has a background in fashion design and loves helping women discover their inner beauty—both in Christ and through fashion, hair, and makeup. She also leads a home group focused on emotional strength and healthy relationships, with a heart for mentoring women and encouraging strong marriages.

For Lori, Northwood is more than a church—it’s a family support system. She has built lifelong friendships and found deep spiritual encouragement within the community, making Northwood a place of both growth and belonging.
