Hi, I’m Tommy!
I never had any intention of being in ministry. Jesus found me at 17 and after 6 years figuring out what in the world that meant, Lauren and I packed everything we could into a Honda Civic and drove to Ventura CA for a 9-month residency at Mission Church to see if serving a church might be somewhere in our plans. Eight unexpected and wonderful years later, we were tearing ourselves away from the church we loved with all our hearts to live the next season of our lives alongside family in Tennessee.
We got to Mission just two years after it had been planted, and it was a constant thrill ride as we navigated tectonic shifts growing from a church of 300 to a church of 2,000. After 9 months in Creative Arts and Worship, I transitioned to Groups Director, picked up new guest connections and assimilation soon after, and then assumed pastoral care.
Along the way I was able to go through Activator Training and Leadership Development Training with Intentional Churches, become a Certified Grief Educator by David Kessler and grief.com, serve as a guest contributor for the Small Group Network blog and podcast, and was trained as a Relapse Prevention Coach by The Genesis Process.
And I’m Lauren!
In 2022 I became one of Dr. Caroline Leaf’s first 30 Certified Neurocycle Facilitators. Now I guide clients through this transformational 63-day program as they re-conceptualize their most damaging toxic thoughts.
My world is church and always has been. The church is my family, and I can see its downfall and its shadow sides. But just as if the church were my sister… I can make fun of her - but if you do, then I’ll defend her to the death.
My grandparents gave their lives to so many in ministry. When I was hospitalized at age 5, those churches sent me cards, gifts and prayers. My parents worked my whole childhood to change the culture of our church from “Insiders Only” to “Come As You Are”. This church taught me to love, sent me around the world, and sent me off to college with an open mindset.
