Timothy W. Thomas, Sr. is an ordained minister of the Gospel. A native of Indianapolis, Indiana, he has resided in Washington State for over 30 years with his wife, Frances, and is the father of four adult children. Minister Thomas served 2 years active duty and 5 years active reserve in the U.S. Navy. It was after his service in the military that he received Jesus as his Lord and was filled with the Holy Ghost. His call to the ministry came shortly thereafter. He is thankful that God saved him from a life without real purpose to a life filled with the blessings and goodness of God. Because he previously put all of his energies into a life without Christ, he purposed in his heart to do much more for the cause of Christ and the establishment of His Kingdom once he became born again.

Minister Thomas served 12 years as assistant pastor at Emmanuel Church of Bremerton, Washington and 8 years in the same capacity at Grace Temple Church of Seattle, Washington. He is presently Associate Minister at Greater Christ Temple Church in Tacoma , Washington, his home church. He has served in various capacities in the Council of the Pacific Northwest District. His main thrust in ministry is awakening the Body of Christ to the task at hand of winning souls into the Kingdom. He has a special anointing to work with young people, and is a regular speaker at youth explosions, camps and convocations. He is a speaker for men’s events, as well as for church congregations and conferences. He and his wife Frances are also featured speakers at marriage seminars around the country. Timothy travels internationally teaching and preaching as he equips ministers and laborers in the harvest of souls.

Timothy is now retired from his job of 36 years with the Department of Defense. He is a Kitsap County Civil Commissioner, having been a board member of Forest Ridge, Mission Creek, and works with city gang intervention. He holds a B.A. in Liberal Arts from Evergreen State College. A scripture which characterizes how Minister Thomas feels about the place of the Church in establishing the Kingdom is found in Matthew 11:12, which says, “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.”
