My name is Chris Thomas. A fortunate husband, a father of three and Dad to five, I’m an advocate of foster care as an implication of the gospel. I’m also a pastor at Raymond Terrace Community Church, a regional church based in the Hunter Valley, Australia. I mostly write about the gospel and how it informs both work and rest.

G’day, I’m Chris Thomas. A fortunate husband, a father of three and dad to five; I’m an advocate of foster care as an implication of the gospel. I write firstly as a means of shepherding those at Raymond Terrace Community Church, a regional church based in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales, Australia, where I have the privilege of pastoring. Secondly, I write for you. I write about the truth and beauty of the gospel.
