Rev. Thomas E. Rickard

Thomas is passionate about the Scriptures and seeks to live his life in the spirit of Peter’s confession, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.’ His desire is to unpack the glorious riches of God as He has revealed Himself through the Holy Scriptures, our only rule of faith and practice.

Originally from Australia, Thomas moved to the United States in 2014 with his then-fiancée, now wife, Sarah. They have four children: Stella, Calvin, Eleanor, and Elizabeth. He completed his Master of Divinity at Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2018, and was ordained in the Presbyterian Church in America in 2020. Thomas currently serves as the Stated Clerk of Westminster Presbytery and as Adjunct Professor of Historical and Ecclesiastical Theology at Graham Bible College in Bristol. He describes himself as a true confessional Southern Presbyterian, coming from the real south, Australia. He enjoys reading, running, and most of all, spending time with his family.
