Connie Vandeman Jeffery
 Connie Jeffery, associate manager for the Adventist Media Center, is also the announcer for the Voice of Prophecy’s daily and weekend radio broadcasts. In addition, she is the manager of Faith For Today and she assists with other Adventist media ministries.
Her latest project, co-producer and co-host of Keeping the Faith, has been her passion since 2003. The dream became a reality in 2007, and along with her co-hosts Gale Murphy, Andrea Judd, and medical expert Dr. Diana Broomfield, she thanks God for the opportunity to speak to women about some of the issues that matter most.
Before joining the media center staff in Simi Valley, California, in 1995 as a trust officer, Connie was a property manager for a Beverly Hills development corporation for 12 years. She has also worked in advertising and promotion at the CBS network in Hollywood.
Connie is the youngest child of George and Nellie Vandeman and was born in 1956, the same year her father founded the It Is Written telecast. She graduated from Newbury Park Academy and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English at La Sierra University, Riverside, California. During college, she spent one year at Newbold College in England and during that time traveled to many countries in Europe.
Connie has been in front of television cameras since the age of five, when her father carried her with her teddy bear across the It Is Written set in New York. She began studying piano in the second grade, received a guitar for Christmas when she was 13, recorded her first album (God Is Beautiful) for Chapel Music during her junior year of high school, began singing on her father’s telecast the following year, and received an Angel Award in 1990 for her album Jesus Never Fails. She recorded the album It’s Beginning to Rain in 1993 and the popular Songs My Father Loved in 2001. The latter is a tribute to her father George Vandeman.
Connie’s numerous articles have appeared in Insight, the Adventist Review, VOP News, and the It Is Written magazine, Channels. She is currently working on her first book, also titled Keeping the Faith. It will be a companion book to the television series.
Connie and her husband Ron Jeffery have one son, Craig Jeffery and a brand new daughter-in-law, Bryanne Jeffery. Her spare time activities include golf, tennis, reading and writing. |
