His story
A Steady Hand in Hard Seasons
Thomas spent fifteen years as a secondary-school teacher before answering the call to ministry — and it shows. He explains grief the way good teachers explain algebra: patiently, plainly, and until it finally makes sense.
He leads our GriefShare and DivorceCare groups, conducts most weddings and funerals, and keeps a famously well-stocked biscuit tin in the vestry for difficult conversations.
What Thomas oversees
- GriefShare and DivorceCare support groups
- Weddings, funerals and home and hospital visits
- Wednesday Bible study and scripture memory group
His favourite verse
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures… even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.”
Psalm 23:1–4
