Life In The City

✨ Exciting news for our Life in the City family! ✨

Please join us in welcoming Rev. Thomas Hankins as the new Lead Pastor of Life in the City UMC, beginning July 1.

Pastor Thomas brings a heart for justice, liberation, deep faith, and community, along with experience serving churches, healthcare ministries, and hospitals across Texas and beyond. His ministry is rooted in helping people know just how deeply loved they are by God and in creating spaces where all people can experience the fullness of life found in Christ.

And…..he’s also an unapologetic theology and history nerd, wildlife photographer, hiker, yoga enthusiast, National Parks adventurer (25 down, 38 to go!), University of Tennessee fan, and proud cat dad to Arya. 🐾

We are grateful for this new chapter and excited for the ways God will continue to move in and through our church community.

📅 Make plans to join us on Sunday, July 5, for Pastor Thomas’s first Sunday in the pulpit. We’d love to surround him with the LITC spirit as we welcome him into the community! Stay tuned for the date of our Pastor Thomas meet-and-greet!

Welcome to Austin, Pastor Thomas! 💜
