Our Pastor & Staff

Pastor Thomas has been at Trident Baptist Church since June 2026.

Thomas was born and raised in New York City, in a lost Catholic family. At the age of 16, Pastor Thomas heard the Gospel for the very first time. Two weeks later, he accepted Jesus Christ as Savior and was saved. At the age of 20, he enrolled at Providence Baptist College in Elgin, IL with the goal of finding God's will for his life. A few months into Bible college, he felt the calling of God to preach and to enter into the ministry to serve God in a full-time capacity. 

During Bible college, he met his wife, Karina. Pastor Thomas and Karina were married in 2018 and later graduated Bible college together in 2021. They have three children: Eloise, Molly, and Charlie. They both love trying new things and having fun experiences as a family. Pastor Thomas loves sports, spending time with friends and family, and most importantly serving in His local church and being around the family of God. 

It is his desire to serve and be a blessing to the youth and their families here at Trident Baptist Church, and in the surrounding communities as well. He prays that God will do a great work in the hearts and lives of the young people he has the privilege to minister to each week.
