IMG_1336.HEIC

 Thomas was born and raised in New Jersey and has always had a passion for music and religion. He has an interesting background that includes tuning pipe organs to working for a professional hockey team. After obtaining his BA in Vocal Performance, Thomas went to seminary and received his MA in Church Music. Thomas has a passion for what he does and is excited to share his ministry gifts with the Highlands community. He wants the worship and music experience on Sundays to make you want to come back to church on Monday! Thomas welcomes you to take some time during Fellowship to have a conversation, or to set an appointment to discuss your musical hopes, dreams, and observations.

Church Leaders

Highlands is lead by Elders that make up the Session. These individuals are "chosen by the congregation to discern and measure its fidelity to the Word of God, and to strengthen and nurture its faith and life. Ruling elders, together with ministers of word and sacrament, exercise leadership, government, spiritual discernment, and discipline and have responsibilities for the life of a congregation as well as the whole church, including ecumenical relationships.” - Book of Order (G-2.0301)
