Get to Know our Ministers . . . . .
| Tom Harrison |
| Tom, Beverly, Rachel & Grace |
Tom Harrison was raised in Springhill, Tennessee and attended Tennessee
Tech where he graduated with a degree in Education. After graduating, he
taught in the Chattanooga City Schools for five years. On December 26,
1986 he married his wife, Beverly, and soon after enrolled in the East
Tennessee School of Preaching. Upon graduation, he and Beverly spent two
years in New Zealand as missionaries. The Harrison's have two girls, Rachel
(15) and Grace (12). He has preached all over the Tennessee and Georgia
area and we were so blessed to have him accept the position of pulpit minister
here at Central the first part of October, 2004.
Tom does a weekly radio spot on W C L E 104.1 FM that airs each Sunday
morning at 8:00 a.m. He is also the coordinator for "Family Matters", a
combined youth and family retreat, that takes place each third weekend in
February in Pigeon Forge. Tom has also been a regular speaker on "Know
Your Bible" in the past. Tom encourages all to e-mail him should they need
him in any way.
Associate/Youth Minister: Our previous Associate Minister, David Langley,
recently became a missionary to China along with his wife, YaNing. We miss
him terribly but the Elders are currently accepting applications for the position
of Youth Minister.
We all need to pray for them in their endeavor of finding someone to work with
our youth here at Central.

Him whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? (Romans 10: 14)

| We want to welcome Todd, Jeana, Joshua, Abby, and Titus O'Donnell each summer. Todd William O’ Donnell was born in Wellington, New Zealand. His earlier education consists of Brooklyn School, Wellington College, and Horowhenua College. In 1992, he left New Zealand to attend the East Tennessee School of Preaching and Missions where he graduated in 1994. From July 1994 through April 1995, Todd worked with the Central Church of Christ in Cleveland, Tennessee. On January 28, 1995, he married Jeana Danyell Rader. They now have three children: Joshua, Abby, and Titus. Todd and Jeana have worked with the Palmerston North Church of Christ, Wellington Church of Christ, and the Foxton church of Christ all in New Zealand. Todd has been involved in many New Zealand Campaigns for Christ which are intensive one week or two week door-knocking campaigns. There is a high emphasis on outreach in New Zealand among members of the Lord’s church. Many people are Atheist, Agnostic, or Skeptical yet there is still a place where people with good hearts can be found. For the months of May, June, July 2007 he has worked with the Central church of Christ primarily focusing on evangelism. He and several members have done local door-knocking, shared the gospel with many people in addition to conducting several home bible studies, and participated in two door-knocking campaigns (Hawesville, KY and De Land, FL). Future plans are to be back in Cleveland next summer the Lord willing. The main focus of the 2008 visit will be a local door-knocking campaign. From June 8th to June 15th, 2008, we will be reaching out to the city of Cleveland, TN with the good news. Make plans to come and participate in this effort. Contact the office here at Central for further information. |
