About Laurie
As the Founder and President of Priority Ministries, Laurie Cole is dedicated to encouraging women to give God glory and priority. In 1985, Laurie enrolled in an in-depth (Precept) Bible study that changed her life and ignited a passion for God and His Word. Encouraged by the older women who led the study, Laurie received training and began teaching a group, and the Lord has been opening doors for her to teach ever since.
For over 25 years, Laurie has been a speaker at women’s events and conferences throughout the country and is the author of four Bible studies that have been used by churches and groups in all fifty states and abroad. Although she is a Southern Baptist, Laurie speaks in all evangelical, Bible-believing settings, and her studies have been widely used by various denominations, churches, and groups. Laurie and her husband Bill have been married for 33 years, and they have three sons and two grandchildren.

“God did exceedingly, abundantly beyond what we thought or asked when Laurie came to be with us for our Women's Retreat. We had fun, we laughed and we cried, but most importantly God's Word came forth through Laurie and touched the hearts of women.”
-- Leslie, GA
"Laurie Cole was an answer to prayer for the women at our retreat. As she challenged us at each session, we returned in anticipation of what we would learn next. She is definitely a woman of the Word, easy to listen to and understand and has a great sense of humor. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for 'just the right speaker' for a retreat, a conference or a day's event. She is terrific! " -- Sandy Schmid, Cornerstone Community Church, Simi Valley, CA
"I was in awe how the Lord used Laurie and knew this would be a powerful weekend, and the Lord did over and above what I even imagined." -- Teresa Holderby, Co-Coordinator, Women's Ministry, The Rock Church, San Diego, CA
“Our ladies loved having Laurie Cole as our retreat speaker! …Laurie gave us wonderful, biblical teaching on how to experience God's saving grace, how to grow in His grace, and how to share His grace with others... Laurie's personable and gentle teaching and illustrations ministered to our ladies in a mighty way.” --Susan, LA
