MEET THE PASTOR

Meet The Pastor At Grace United Methodist Church


The Reverend Tommy Thompson, from Nashville, TN, comes to us from Rock Spring UMC on the Charlottesville District where he served as pastor from 2007-2010. Prior to Rock Spring, Pastor Tommy served parishes in Tennessee, Kentucky, and West Virginia.

Pastor Tommy graduated from Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville with a Bachelors degree in Religion/Pastoral Ministries. Following Trevecca, he attended Asbury Theological Seminary in Kentucky where he earned his M.Div. Rev. Thompson was ordained in 2006 in the Church of the Nazarene and at this year’s annual conference was accepted as a full member of the Virginia Annual Conference.

Rev. Thompson is married to his college sweetheart, Leslie Ragland and they have two children, Daniel (9), and Hannah Grace (5). Tommy and Leslie are soon to celebrate their ten-year wedding anniversary!

Pastor Tommy shares a deep love for the sacramental life of the church, theology, music of various genres, coffee, sports (particularly cycling), and simply living life to the fullest. He looks forward to living in community with God’s people at Grace in Parksley.
