Pastor Tom has been connected to Time to Revive since reviveINDIANA in 2015 when he participated during the 52 days. Tom had a vision of the Indiana flag and the “rays” (which became the cities) of far-reaching influence. This then led to volunteering to join the team for reviveFLORIDA. He was also one of the guest teachers for the reviveSCHOOL videos. He was moved by seeing his church people impacted and equipped.

 

Having served for 20 years at Nappanee First Brethren Church in Nappanee, Indiana (19 years as Senior Pastor), Tom stepped down from that role on November 1, 2022. Now he can focus even more of his efforts as Time to Revive’s Regional Director for our partnerships and reviveSCHOOL in South America.

 

Tom lives in Nappanee with his wife Julie. They have three married daughters (Kimberly, Bethel, and Laura), and eight amazing grandchildren. You may not know that Tom was previously both a high school band and choir director, a marching band director at Ashland university, plays the tuba, worked at local radio station WBCO, and has also acted and directed in musicals. Despite his Indiana residence, he considers himself to be a lifelong Minnesota Vikings fan. “Skol!”
