Sunday, September 7, 2025, will be a day of excitement and celebration as we welcome our new Senior Minister, Rev. Tom Edmondson. Tom is coming to us from First Christian Church of Atlanta in Tucker, Georgia, where he has been the senior minister for ten years. Tom earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Atlanta Christian College, a Master of Theological Studies (MTS) from Candler School of Theology, and a MA in Jewish Studies from Emory University. He is the author of “Faith Greater Than Our Challenges”, and a Diplomate in LogoPhilosophy. (The study of helping individuals find meaning in their life), as explained in his website www.meaningministry.com.
As an ordained minister, Tom lives and teaches the Gospel. Using his other studies combined with the teachings of the Bible, he guides individuals through their faith journey by helping them navigate challenges to make choices aligned with their values to find hope and purpose in their lives. Tom is also a strong believer that the church and community are one. He has always been active in community affairs and even started a much needed and successful civic organization in Tucker to help those in need. This love of community and giving back quality is great for CCC, since we have always been strong in giving to our community.
Tom met his wife Ann in seminary. She is also an ordained minister and is working on her doctorate in music ministry. They are both looking forward to their new adventures as they experience the culture and way of life in San Antonio.
Ann immigrated to the U.S. with her family from South Korea when she was a teenager and brings a fresh perspective with all of her activities. Among her many current activities, she organized and successfully led the Tucker Community Chorus which performed at the church and many other venues. She is also very involved in giving back to the community.
Tom and Ann have two grown sons, a daughter-in-law and two beautiful granddaughters. We hope to meet them soon.
We are all excited to have Tom and Ann become a part of our lives at CCC. Please come to worship on September 7th and stay for the reception in the Fellowship Hall after the service to meet and welcome both of them.
