Senior Pastor
Pastor Jeanette Burlie serves as the senior pastor of Triumphant Faith Center. She started out working in the Ministry of Helps at TFC shortly after she was born-again over 35 years ago and was later brought on as a staff member.
Pastor Jeanette was ordained by World Harvest Church under Dr. Ed and Pastor Nancy Dufresne in 2010 and became the associate pastor of TFC. In 2025, Pastors Jerry and Darlene transferred the pastoral mantle of Triumphant Faith Center to Pastor Jeanette where she now humbly and joyfully pastors.
Pastor Jeanette is excited to fulfill the call of God on her life and run with the vision God has given her for these last days.
Founding Pastors
Revs. Jerry and Darlene pioneered Triumphant Faith Center in Wichita, KS and held their first service in a storefront on December 2, 1979.
Jerry was raised on a farm in northern Oklahoma. After enlisting and serving his country, he moved to Wichita where he worked at Cessna for 10 years. At the age of 34, he was born again and knew he was called to more than just sitting on a pew. After being laid off from Cessna, he traveled with some ministers up to Bad Axe, MI for a campmeeting where he first met Darlene. Two years later in 1977, they both attended Rhema Bible Training Center. After graduating, Jerry brought the message of faith back to Wichita and taught weekly at a church for over a year. It was in 1979 when Jerry and Darlene got married. A couple months later, they started holding Monday night prayer in their house and on December 2, 1979, Triumphant Faith Center held its first service.
Through the years, Pastors Jerry & Darlene have formed life-long relationships with some of the most respected men and women of God. They are faithful to the work God has placed on their hearts and will continue teaching and preaching faith.
