Tommy Sprinkle is the founding pastor of Light On A Hill Church.<\/p>\n

My Ministry<\/h3>\n

I delivered my first sermon in a mission for homeless and transients.  For several years I conducted a weekly church service in a nursing home.  Over the years I have worked in children’s programs, taught adult Sunday School, and served on various church boards.  In 1999 my wife Donna and I were lead to start a ministry for Spanish-speaking people in the East Texas area. This ministry was named LOAH Evangelistic Ministries and in 2001 it transformed into a church in Grapeland. I have served in the capacity of pastor since the church was founded.<\/p>\n

My Faith Journey<\/h3>\n

My earliest memories are about church.  My mother was involved in a local church and saw that my younger brother and I attended regularly.  I grew up learning about the Bible in Sunday School and singing Hymns in church.  As a teenager I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ and have attempted to be a faithful follower ever since.  My adult life has always been centered around God and the church.  Today I am grateful to my mom, my Sunday School teachers, and pastors who taught me and discipled me throughout my life.<\/p>\n

A Little About Me<\/h3>\n

I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas as did my wife Donna.  We were married in 1981 and later moved to Houston for a job as a software developer.  We built a weekend home in Houston County and moved here permanently in 2003.  I now work from home developing computer software in addition to my duties at LOAH.  We have two grown children, eight grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.<\/p>\n

Join me on this remarkable journey of faith, service, and community building at Light On A Hill Church. Together, we’ll continue to shine the light of hope in the hearts of many.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
