Richard Thomas - Senior Pastor

Senior Pastor - Richard Thomas

Pastor Thomas was converted while at Clemson University and from those earliest days thirsted for the knowledge of God's Word and for opportunities to share biblical truth. Discipleship was big part of his life; several years were spent discipling college students prior to attending Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi. The last 15 years have been spent in the pastorate, preaching the whole counsel of God to equip the saints for the work of the ministry. One area of special passion, in addition to discipleship, is making all believers aware of Jesus' call to be a part of reaching the entire world for Christ. A biblical world and life view, where every aspect of life and every discipline of life is seen as a way to bring glory to God, is also emphasized.

As the main teacher in Mt. Calvary's pulpit ministry, he longs to communicate the content of the Bible, while making it practical for everyday living. He does this by teaching and preaching from the Old Testament, the New Testament, by presenting theological issues and topics, but always by preaching the Scriptures.

Pastor and Mrs. Thomas have four children, ages 3 to 18.
