Steve Thompson has retired from full-time ministry after serving 30 years as associate pastor of education and administration at Woodmont Baptist Church, Florence.
A reception for Thompson was held Oct. 15. A native of Florida, Thompson graduated from Samford University in 1981 and Southwestern Seminary in 1986. He spent five years as associate pastor at Hillcrest Baptist Church, Enterprise, before being called to Woodmont in 1993. During his 30-year tenure, he helped lead the congregation through numerous building campaigns and the development of the east campus; filled the pulpit; organized educational ministries; managed facilities; provided spiritual leadership stability during interims; and, most importantly, led people to Jesus Christ.
His wife, Cinda (second from left, pictured with their daughters), served alongside him, working in special needs ministry, children’s and women’s ministries, and other areas. Thompson will continue serving as pastor emeritus of Woodmont.
