CCRBC

I've served as a deacon of Sovereign Joy since its founding in 2008 and now service at Christ Covenant. A native Texan, I was born and raised in Dallas.

The Lord graciously saved me as a young teenager. After serving as a weather observer in the U.S. Navy, I then attended Texas A&M and received a degree in Meteorology. After a 30-year career in the Natuional Weather Service, I now drive a school bus for kids with special needs.

I met my wife, Teri, in Bakersfield, CA in 1989 and we were married in 1990. We have two grown children. Hobbies include weather (of course) and cruising. The Lord lead me to Reformed Theology via "The Way of the Master" evangelism program.

Tom is a deacon, former deacon, and former elder.

Tom is a retired U.S. Border Patrol Agent and retired Navy (former Coast Guard) reservist. Tom has four grandsons.

I was ordained as a deacon in February 2023 at Faith Community Baptist Church and was received into the Deaconate at Christ Covenant Reformed Baptist Church at her constituting. The Lord has blessed me with a great love for His people the Church, and given me the opportunity to use my gifts in her service.

I received a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering technology from UNT in 2012, and moved to Fort Worth when I graduated. I have worked in engineering since that time.

By the splendorous grace of God, I was saved in 2018 under the ministry of a local gospel preaching church after having been invited for a friend. The Lord led me to FCBC in 2020, and I became a member by way of transfer soon after. I married my wife Katie in the Spring of 2022, and we currently live in Fort Worth.

The Holy Spirit awakened my soul and called me to a life of repentance and faith by the practical means of my father's preaching in 2010. By God's Grace, I was soon baptized and joined in membership to Faith Community Baptist Church in 2013. Also by God's Grace, I was called by the church to serve as a deacon in 2022.

I continued in membership at Faith Community Baptist Church, until they eventually merged with Sovereign Joy to create Christ Covenant Reformed Baptist Church (CCRBC) in 2023. There I was called to serve in the office of deacon as well, all by the Grace of God.

Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, I received my foundational education through homeschooling and later graduated from Tarrant County College with an Associate's in general studies. Currently, I'm on the path to earning a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Arlington.

A few of my hobbies include gardening, long-distance running, and rewatching Marvel movies in a religious chronological order.

As a child, my grandmother shared the gospel with me. However, I lived a life of sin until the Lord in His perfect timing revealed my sin and opened my heart to the gospel.

By the grace and mercy of God, I have walked with Christ the Lord since 2008. Also in 2008, Adelaida Ann accepted my hand in marriage. We have 3 children: Dominic, Ryan Rose and Anthony.

I have been an active member of Sovereign Joy since 2012. Servant to the brethren, voted as deacon in 2018. I enjoy being with my family most, being outdoors and coaching my children and our teammates in folk-style wrestling.

I am very grateful to be a part of CCRBC and humbled to serve as a deacon in this congregation! My wife, Venus, and I, have been members (prior to our church merge) since 2002 and are native Texans from right here in Fort Worth.

Along with our two children, we are blessed to call this community home, and have had the privilege of seeing the great work of God's Gospel in our own family and places near and far - He is indeed the God of salvation, and we praise Him!

We are also encouraged to see a renewal among God's people to desire sound doctrine and Baptist confessionalism.
