meet our PASTOR
Portland Gospel Church
Pastor Thomas Harding
Hey y’all! I grew up in a small town in Ohio. In my early 20s, I was confronted with the word of God in a baptist church and it totally rocked my life. I gave my life to Jesus and have been following Him ever since.
Shortly after that, I had someone disciple me in the word of God and I could not get enough of it. Once I realized how true the gospel was, I had to share it with others.
I began training for ministry and serving in my local church until a door was opened to become a pastor. I spent 7 years on staff at my sending church in Georgia and learned a ton about ministry!
In 2023 that church sent our family and a small team to plant a new church in Portland, OR. I am hopeful that others in Portland can meet Jesus just like I did, in the saving pages of the word of God.
I absolutely love the bible, the gospel, my family and serving others in ministry.
Please reach out and get to know me. I’d love to meet you, and especially to introduce you to my Saviour Jesus Christ!
