Frederick Thomas Jr.
(Pastor Fred)

Senior Pastor

Hello!!! My name is Frederick Thomas Jr. I am a native of Dothan, AL.  I can truly say I'm blessed to have married my childhood sweet heart, Minister Adrienna Deloris Thomas (Aug 28, 2010).  We have three children: Frederick Thomas III, Jordan Isaiah Thomas and Emily Francis Thomas.

In 2005, after many years of running, I gave my life to Christ. In 2009, God gave me a vision to teach and preach. In June 2010, I began to walk in my calling within
the ministry by preaching and teaching at my home church, the Church of Dothan, where Annie Anderson is the Senior Pastor.

I obtained my Associate’s degree in Applied Biblical Studies (2012) from Destiny Bible College. Through the miraculous favor of God, I received an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity, (Dec 2013) from Kingdom Bible College and Seminary. In 2014, I earned my bachelor of Arts in Applied Biblical Studies from Destiny Bible College. Lastly, I finished my Master of Ministry in Biblical Counseling from Andersonville Theological Seminary (2015).

 It is my desire to present the Gospel in a unique way.  Understanding that the word of God is timeless, I seek God to present the word in a way that everyone understands. God has granted me the ability to teach scripture with purpose and relevancy. My approach to scripture is driven by my many experiences in life. It is also my desire to teach the word of God in secular settings as well as the church.

Currently, I work for New Millennium Building Systems where I have been employed for 15 years. I also obtained my Alabama Real Estate license. Helping people has always been my passion. I believe that the word of God was not only given to save the lost but to inspire the found. It is my belief that we were all placed in the Earth for a reason and it is through the teaching and preaching of the Word of God that every individual comes into their purpose. According to scripture, ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF THEM WHO LOVE THE LORD AND ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.

Hello! I am Minister Adrienna Deloris Thomas (Lady A)  a native of Birmingham, Alabama. I currently resides in Dothan, AL with my husband (Pastor Fredrerick Thomas) and three children (Frederick Thomas III, Jordan Isaiah Thomas and Emily Francis Thomas).

As a young child, I attended Move of God Deliverance Tabernacle in Camphill, AL. (Pastor Willie Ford). I later transitioned to Mt.

My favorite scripture is Jeremiah 29:11 -For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. I am proud to be one of the founding members of Church of Purpose.
