Richard (Richie) Thomas is an ordained minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who served as the associate pastor under Pastor Howard Cox at Word of Faith Bible Church in Crescent City, Florida from February 2018 to February 2023. He was elected and installed as only the 3rd Pastor of Word of Faith Bible Church on 26 February 2023. Word of Faith Bible Church is an Independent, Fundamental, Evangelistic King James Bible preaching and teaching Church unaffiliated with the Charismatic "Word of Faith" movement. Brother Richie is a former Marine Corps Corporal (89-93) and U.S. Army Sergeant First Class (95-03) who also served as government contract employee and High School History teacher prior to his ordination. Brother Richie will be the first to tell you that he has not always lived his life in accordance with the Bible. He is an imperfect man who lived a life of sin, experiencing failed relationships, self-inflicted hardships, and admittedly tried to justify his life by using the modernists excuses, "Jesus loves me no matter what" and "I am saved, so it doesn't matter what I do or how I live". It was only after Richie hit rock bottom in his life that he cried out to Jesus and began searching the scriptures for himself, leaning on the wisdom of the Holy Spirit through fervent prayer when he realized he was not living the life Christ died to give him. The book of Ecclesiasts and Paul's Letter to the Romans changed his life tremendously for the glory of God. He surrendered to the call into the ministry in 2017 and makes it his life's purpose to tell others the Truth in God's Word and encourage them to read it for themselves. Pastor Richie holds a B.S. degree in Business Administration from Colorado Technical University, and a M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on Social Studies from Concordia University. As an associate Pastor he was a weekly contributor to the 'Putnam County Courier Journal' writing the Pastor's Pen article from 2019 through 2021. He has been the guest preacher at other churches and addressed the inmates at Tomoka State Prison in Volusia County, Florida for "Revival Week" in 2022. He enjoys Gospel singing and plays the saxophone, guitar, bass and is learning piano. He and his wife Sara have five adult children and live in their hometown of Crescent City, Florida.
