Tom
joined The Village Church Ministry Team in January of 2006 and has worked with

His favorite Bible passage is Psalm 139, especially verses 13-14 – “For you
created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you
because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know
that full well.”
Tom enjoys sports, reading, walking, and roller coasters. He and his wife Deb
were married in the same place where they met.
