As you may know, Tom and Cathy are getting ready to transition from being Senior Pastors at Trinity Life Community in Bedford, NH after thirteen years in that role in this church and after 35 years together in five churches throughout that time! Tom and Cathy will remain on staff at TLC as Founding Pastors supporting Tim and Selina McGinnin, the new Senior Pastors, and the rest of the staff in the ministry of the church. Tom is also refocusing his time primarily on his work through the Praxis Center for Church Development as an expression of his apostolic gifting to the larger church worldwide.

As we draw near to formal Pastoral Succession on November 23rd, we want to take the opportunity as a church community, extended family, and friends from the broader body of Christ to bless Tom and Cathy in a significant way with a financial gift. They have been faithfully serving in pastoral ministry as senior pastors for over three decades and have always done so at great personal and financial sacrifice.

With that, we are setting a goal to raise at least $35,000 to give towards Tom’s retirement account--$1,000 for every year Tom and Cathy have been in pastoral ministry. Would you prayerfully consider partnering with us to bless Tom and Cathy in this meaningful way?

If you would like to give towards this gift, you can do so by indicating “love offering” in the memo at www.tlcnh.org/give. Notably, funds donated as a love offering to TLC are tax-deductible, and the church will provide a tax receipt for your record keeping purposes.

The reason for this GoFundMe site is that some may wish to give a gift directly to Tom & Cathy. You can do that simply by clicking the green “Donate” button on this page. Please note, personal gifts to Tom & Cathy through GoFundMe are not tax-deductible.

Whichever method you choose, thank you for joing us in blessing the Johnstons!
