REV. BETH THOMASON - SENIOR MINISTER

Beth is a Birmingham native with strong ties to First Christian Church. She is married to Tim Thomason, who was born and raised here at FCC. Together they have two daughters: Celia, a second-grade teacher who lives in Texas with her husband, Eli, and infant daughter, Meredith; and Sami, who is graduating from Lee High School in Huntsville. After exploring a call to ministry while serving at Hargis Christian Retreat and volunteering in youth ministry at FCC, Beth earned her Master of Divinity degree from Lexington Theological Seminary, and was ordained at First Christian Church in 1999. For the last 20 years she has served churches in the Huntsville and Madison areas. In her spare time, she can be found hiking the many trails in North Alabama. In 2016 she walked 500 miles across Spain on the Camino de Santiago and hopes to hike the Appalachian trail one day.

 
 


REV. ROBIN BLAKEMORE - ASSOCIATE MINISTER

The opportunity to walk with people as they realize God’s love and discover and use their gifts in ministry is the passion that motivates Robin’s ministry in the church. For over 20 years she has served in youth ministry in a variety of contexts, with a particular interest in  intentional discipleship. She brings that experience to First Christian in her work with all ages as we all seek to be more faithful followers of Christ in the world. 

Robin and her husband Stan live in Birmingham with their two children, Linnea and Kallan. Robin works with the Center for Youth Ministry Training and has a passion for equipping youth workers. In her spare time Robin enjoys reading and playing in the dirt.
