Associate & Youth Pastor

Thomas has been working in recovery ministry in some capacity since 2010 and has lived in Port Aransas with his wife Jackie and youngest daughter Ashlyn since 2015.

Thomas is dedicated to reaching and teaching the youth of our community with the truth and boldness of the gospel. He is passionate about making disciples and encouraging them to walk in their individual gifts that have been given to them by God through the Spirit in order to encourage diversity and equip the body. Thomas also uses his love and gift of music and music leadership to edify and support the church, not only on Sunday mornings but wherever the Lord allows.

Thomas sees how all of these passions and desires work together to do one thing - bring glory to God by making disciples for His kingdom.

Women’s Sunday Morning Bible Study:

Women’s Wednesday Night Bible Study:

We meet from 6-7:30 p.m.   We meet at different member’s homes, and share some snacks together.  Then we have a worship time, where we sing Christian songs with You Tube.  We are currently studying "Daniel".  We also have an extended time of sharing and prayer at the end.  These women have a love and genuine care for each other.
