Thomas grew up in the Uxbridge area, raised on a farm. At the age of 18, he felt called into ministry while attending Uxbridge Free Methodist Church and on a short term mission’s trip.

 

After graduating from Tyndale studying pastoral ministry, he married Amy-Beth and started working as an associate pastor in Uxbridge. After serving two years, Thomas and Amy-Beth moved to Cloyne, where they began leading Pineview Free Methodist Church in Cloyne. Cloyne is where they started their family and their pastoral leadership.

 

After seven years of ministry, the Lord called their family to move to pastor the North Grenville Community Church, where they have been since 2017. Pastor Thomas and Amy-Beth have five children: Joel, Julia, Macy, Tessa and Anna-Claire. It is their passion to see people fall in love with Jesus and to grow God’s Kingdom.

 

Obeying God’s call to enter full time Christian service, she attended Kingswood University in Sussex, NB. As part of her studies she lived in Swaziland, Africa for five months in 2004, where she was mentored by a missionary couple who worked with the Jesus film project and AIDS orphans. She graduated in 2005 with a BA in Religion. After a short term mission trip to China, Elizabeth spent a year in Japan teaching English and working with a church plant.

 

On returning to Canada she became the Pastor of Youth and Children’s Ministries at New Hope Wesleyan Church in Nova Scotia. During her nine and a half years there she lead a short term mission trip, spoke at summer camps, attended many youth rallies and lock-in, and ate a lot of pizza. She was ordained in 2009.
