 Brent Thompson, Pastor
By God’s grace, my wife Patty and I have enjoyed 29 years of marriage. We have five sons, two daughters-in-love, and just recently our first precious grandchild. My education includes a BS in Business Administration from Kansas State University (1980) and a Master of Divinity from Denver Seminary (2000). I worked 3 years in sales for IBM in Topeka, 13 years in sales and management for BANK IV in Wichita, 3 years in various pastoral roles at Centennial Community Church in Littleton, Colorado, and for the last 6 years as pastor of The Journey.
I was raised in a churched home by loving parents, but I spent my first 33 years as merely a cultural Christian. As an adult, I was actively involved in the church in a variety of capacities. My theology, however, was works based; I rationalized sin and really didn’t have a clue about grace. Fortunately, I came to the end of myself and my counterfeit faith in late 1991. Since then, I have found a passion and a purpose I never knew existed. As a result, I have embraced the following mission statement: Empowered by God’s love, I want to worship Him by influencing others to grow in Christ at all times. I fall short more times than not, but thankfully God grants mulligans!
Speaking of mulligans, I do like to swing a golf club. In the winter I pretend to hunt ducks (don’t worry, your Mallards are safe with me). I have also succumbed to one of the occupational hazards of preaching, I am a registered book-oholic! But, my favorite pastime is putting the top down on our 91 Miata and driving anywhere with my bride.
