Tom McMinn has been married to his wife Dianne for 36 years. They have four married daughters, two teenage sons and a 12 year old daughter at home, and 17 grandchildren.
Tom and Dianne both became believers in the Lord Jesus Christ in their teens and have purposed to give their lives over to the guidance and leading of the Holy Spirit.
The McMinns followed God’s direction to begin homeschooling their children in 1984 and have continued in that conviction to the present. They have been leaders in the Christian homeschool movement on a local and state level and have spoken on various subjects relevant to new and experienced Christian homeschoolers.
Tom has been in leadership positions in various bible and Baptist Churches over the past 25 years; he has attended the College of Biblical Studies and is currently enrolled in Dallas Theological Seminary as a part time student in the Master of Arts in Biblical Studies program.
After becoming increasingly aware that most churches today were unwittingly working against the parents in their efforts to lead their families in biblical holiness, Tom was one several men who were given a vision to start a “Family-Integrated, Interdenominational, Bible-Believing Church” in the Northwest Houston area. Tom and Dianne are committed to building up the local church to be an equipper, encourager, and teacher of families, in order to prepare the fathers and mothers to lead and direct their children in biblical holiness.
