Timothy & Carina Thomas
Lead Pastors
Timothy and Carina Thomas have been a part of the Dallas Metro family their entire lives. Both grew up in the inner city of Dallas, where their paths first crossed as students in the Dallas Metro Youth program. Their shared passion for ministry led them to serve on staff for over a decade, dedicating their lives to helping people grow into who God has called them to be.
Pastor Timothy Thomas – Lead Pastor
Timothy stepped into the role of Lead Pastor in 2024, carrying a deep passion for seeing lives transformed through the power of the Gospel. He holds an Associate’s degree in Youth Ministry from Christ for the Nations, a Ministry License with the Assemblies of God, and is actively working toward his Ordination. Additionally, he is furthering his education with the goal of earning a Master’s degree.
Growing up in the very neighborhoods he now serves, Timothy has a unique ability to connect with families and individuals facing challenges similar to those he once experienced. His leadership is rooted in the belief that true transformation happens when people encounter Jesus and embrace God’s plan for their lives.
Carina Thomas – Dallas Metro Kids Director
Carina serves as the Metro Kids Director at Dallas Metro Ministries. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Children and Family Ministry from Christ for the Nations and has a deep passion for teaching and mentoring children. Having grown up in the same communities she now serves, Carina brings a unique understanding and heart for the children of the inner city, reaching them with love, hope, and the message of Christ.
Beyond children’s ministry, God has placed a calling on Carina’s heart to empower women to step into their God-given potential, becoming prayer warriors and leaders in their homes and communities. Whether working with children or mentoring women, Carina is committed to seeing lives transformed through faith.
Timothy and Carina were married in 2018 and are the proud parents of two beautiful daughters, Genesis and Bella.
