Rev. Tony Thomas

Lead Pastor

What gets you excited about the role you serve in at JOAN?

I love the opportunity to lead God's people through the Word - helping us to go deeper in knowing and enjoy Christ and then helping to see fruit borne in all spheres of life.

What is one word or phrase you'd use to describe what makes Joy of All Nations unique and be a church people would want to come to?  Go deep in knowing God...and go wide in knowing diverse peoples.

If you could only eat one dish for every meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?  I'm an Indian Malayalee, so I'd have to go with chicken curry, chore, and morekachi. IYKYK.

If you could meet one person, living or dead, real or fictional, and have a conversation with them, who would you meet and what would you talk about?  Michael Jordan. He's my childhood hero. I would reminisce on the 90s Bulls, but also I'd want to talk to him about Jesus :) 

What’s the worst/best fad you participated in?  There was a period in the 90s when especially guys with dark hair were dying their hair brown. I had to hide from my parents so I used "sun in" and it looked copper. Pretty sad and pretty bad.
