Eric Thomason – Associate Pastor

Eric & Kelli met while serving the Lord at a youth camp in Mobile, Alabama. Since that time God has been equipping and using them together to minister to children and families in a variety of ways. In recent years, God has brought them through a journey of healing and restoration as they dealt with critical issues in their marriage and grieved the death of their first child. They believe that God desires to use their journey to help others enter into authentic and healthy relationships with men & women and discover the abundant life that comes through a relationship with Christ. Eric has a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Vanderbilt University and a Masters of Divinity in Christian Education from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. He was a first grade teacher for 3 years, a children’s pastor for 4 ½ years and has been serving at Bethabra since June 2010. Eric & Kelli have been married for 8 years and have two children, Ian & Caroline.
