Tom Watkins
Senior Pastor
After serving churches in Raleigh and Wendell, North Carolina, Tom followed God’s call to Wilson. Here, you will find him in the pulpit almost every Sunday and around the church office during the week with an open door. Tom loves teaching the Bible and helping the church discover how God’s word leads us to new venues of mission and ministry. First and foremost, though, Tom seeks to lead as a pastor. He enjoys being with people in and around the church and has the ability to be himself in such a way that allows others to be themselves. A native of Alabama, Tom is a graduate of Auburn University, Columbia Theological Seminary (Master of Divinity), and Union Presbyterian Seminary (Doctor of Ministry). He and his wife Julie have two children, Mary Thomas and Jack.
