The
Connectional YACM Steering Committee would like to officially welcome the
Reverends Brian and Felica Thompson as the new advisors of the Young Adult In Christian
Ministries.
Rev. Brian R. Thompson, Sr. was born November 1 in
Chapel Hill, NC. He was educated in the Chatham County and continued his
education at Saint Augustine’s College in Raleigh, NC, where he completed his
Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communication. He obtained a Masters in Theological
Studies and is continuing his education at Duke Divinity School to obtain his
Master of Divinity.
He is

DC. She holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Education from St.
Augustine's College in Raleigh, North Carolina. Not long after receiving her
degree, she became a Business Education Teacher and Varsity Cheerleading Coach

In November of 2001, Rev. B. Thompson was appointed to
Simon Temple African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, where he currently serves
as their full time pastor. God has blessed Simon Temple to become one of the
fastest growing churches in Zion, over 1,000 souls have been led to the Lord
and more than 2,500 have joined the church under his leadership.
They are the proud parents of two healthy miracles
from God – Alexis (9) and Brian II (7).
We are really excited to have them as our new advisor
and look forward to working with them. But
as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into
the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him. (1
Corinthians 2:9)
