Jack was raised in the foothills
of Eastern Tennessee, the eldest son of five boys born to loving, Christian parents. As a child, his love for music was evident
to all who met him. He sang in local churches and his Grandmother, Mother and her two sisters had a singing group which traveled
to the local area churches.
As he grew to adulthood, his
passion for singing led to gospel songwriting and today he writes a large majority of his own material.
He was taught at an early age
to play the Guitar by a favortie uncle and later he became interested in learning to play the piano. Today Jack plays Keyboard
at many of his concerts, especially at the churches and nursing homes without a sound system. After retirement in 2002, following
a thirty year law enforcement career, Jack was the lead singer for the Jericho Road Quartet. In 2007, he became a full-time
soloist with a traveling ministry.
For over twenty years, Jack
has dedicate his heart, talents and his life to spreading God's word through testimony and song. Along with his Church Ministry,
Jack continues to hold services three and four times per month at various local nursing homes. Jack appears regularly on the
television show "Jesus Talk Live at The Manger" broadcast on WLFT.TV, and the "Living Faith Network," which is recorded in
Gatlinburg,Tennessee.
Everywhere Jack sings people come
to him after the service and tell him how his smoothness and style with a song reminds them of the late "Burl Ives" which
to Jack is a wonderful compliment as he is also a fan of the late Mr Ives. Rev. Thomas is available for just a song service
or a full service and he especially loves revivals. Our contact numbers are 865 774-7062 and cell phone 865
964-0544. May God Bless You! Connie.
