Pastors & Staff

Rev. Tom Newman

Lead Pastor

I felt a call into ministry while a teenager and consider myself the most blessed person I know because I get to come to church every day! I am an ordained Elder in the Global Methodist Church and was first appointed full time in 1995 (La Grange UMC). From then I’ve served Angier UMC (1999-2006), Salem UMC in Greenville, NC (2006-2011), Sunrise UMC in Holly Springs, NC (2011-2017), Asbury Church in Raleigh, NC (2017-2020), and Concord Church of Roxboro, NC (2020-2025). My undergraduate degree is in Philosophy from Elon University (BA in 1992) and my graduate degree is from Duke University (M-Div in 1995). I am a certified life coach through Passion in Partnership, and I offer marriage, family and individual counselling through the church office. I am eager to grow in my relationship with God and consider myself first and foremost a Christ-follower! I love
Jesus and am eager to help you grow closer to God and fall more deeply in love with Jesus too. I’d love to connect with you personally and answer any question you may have. Drop me a line at tom@fmcmhnc.org.
