Tom has a love for the Cleveland Browns that became the birthplace of a Fresh Expression of Church called “Game Day Church.” Since then Tom continues to lean in to where the Spirit is inviting relationships to form that meet people and God where they are already. Tom is also inviting others to pray and dream about where their passions are and how God might be inviting them to building relationships around these affinities and common ground that might bear fruit for the Kingdom of God.
