George Thomas | Ruling Elder
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AT ALL SOULS?
My family and I have been at All Souls since 2005.
WHY DID YOU WANT TO SERVE AS AN ELDER? HOW DID YOU EXPERIENCE GOD CALLING YOU TO THIS OFFICE?
At first, I wasn’t sure I wanted to be an Elder until I better understood that being an Elder is another opportunity to love and serve God’s people.
After being nominated for a second time, I was reminded of how important it is for God’s people to see those that lead also serve.
WHAT OTHER WAYS HAVE YOU SERVED AT ALL SOULS?
I have been apart of the Children’s ministry for most of my time at All Souls, teaching and serving on the Children's Advisory Board for many years. I've also been involved with Men’s Retreats, Community Groups, Men’s Breakfasts, and Men’s Connection Groups.
HOW HAS GOD USED ALL SOULS IN YOUR LIFE?
All Souls has been a life-giving place that has provided opportunities for my family to grow in relationships and be refreshed by the consistent message of God’s grace.
I love that my boys talk about Christianity in the context of relationship.
TELL US SOMETHING INTERESTING AND UNEXPECTED ABOUT YOURSELF.
I was a YoungLife Leader for 10 years and served for one year as the Chaplain for the Atlanta Hawks.
