Welcome Interim Pastor Tom Beckstrom!

We’re excited to welcome Pastor Tom, our interim pastor, who will be serving with us from May 2nd to September 28th. Pastor Tom is a retired Covenant pastor with a deep love for ministry and a heart for God’s people.

Pastor Tom grew up at First Covenant Church and began his faith journey early—accepting Christ at the age of 9 while attending Mission Meadows. He went on to attend Southwestern School, Fredonia College, and North Park Seminary, where he also met his wife, Barb. They’ve been married for 49 years, and together they enjoy gardening and collecting antiques.

The couple has been blessed with two sons, two daughters-in-law, and five grandchildren. Pastor Tom has faithfully served as a Covenant pastor for 45 years. Since retiring, he has continued to bless churches in part-time roles. As he humorously puts it, “Old preachers don’t retire—they’re just sent out to pastor!”

Please join us in giving Pastor Tom and Barb a warm and heartfelt welcome during this special season!
