- Rev. Wayne Marcus, Pastor
- Rev. Wayne Marcus is married to Tammy; they have a daughter Noel Marcus, a daughter and son in law, Tasha & Tyler Scroggs and three grandchildren, Easton, Elijah and Elisa Scroggs.
God called Pastor Marcus to salvation at the age of 21 and soon after that into the Gospel ministry. At the age of 25, he began his first pastorate at Swamp Creek Baptist Church,
in Dalton, GA. After serving at Swamp Creek for five and a half years, the Lord led him to Toms Creek Baptist Church in 1998. It has been his distinct honor to serve this great
Church wherein God has allowed us to be apart of some exciting times.
- Rev. Shawn Croninger, Minister of Children and Youth
- Shawn Croninger is the Minister of Youth and Children at Tom’s Creek Baptist Church. He is 40 years old and has a wife, Robin, and 4 children,
an eight-year-old daughter named Eden and an six-year-old son named Jaden, a 4 year-old daughter named Adelyn and a 4 month-old named Rylan.
Shawn is from Lebanon, Tennessee where his parents still live. Shawn is an ordained Southern Baptist Minister. He has been in ministry for

food distribution to the needy before he was called to go to school at Lee University. After receiving his bachelor degree in Bible and
Theology he became the Children’s minister of the Cohutta First Baptist Church. He then went on to plant the New Covenant Baptist Church,
a rural congregation, along with his father-in-law Mike Little. NCBC is located just outside of Cohutta in the Mount Pleasant Community.
He then went on to pastor the Oak Street Baptist Church in Portland, Tennessee. From there he is now here at Tom’s Creek Baptist Church.
- Chris Thomas, Minister of Music
- God called Chris into the Music Ministry several years
before he would give in and answer that call. He kept
turning God down with the excuse of not being qualified for
the job; until the day someone reminded Chris, God doesn't
always call those that are qualified, but yet he always
qualifies those that are called. Chris loves the Lord and
loves serving him as the Minister of Music & Outreach at
Tom's Creek Baptist Church along with his wife Kathy and
their two girls Kristin & Kathryn.
“And how shall they preach, except they
be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them
that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good
things!” Romans 10:15 (KJV)/span>
