Pastor Neill Tolboom became the pastor of our congregation for the second time in 2014. He served our church previously from July 1998 to June 2001.
Pastor Tolboom is excited to have returned to our church. He is enjoying ministering to a smaller congregation and reconnecting with the community.
Before going into the ministry, he was Director of Computer Operations for TD bank, an International Auditor, and a College Recruiter.
He also volunteers at numerous nonprofit organizations, plays golf and softball, and is a financial adviser for numerous organizations. He was born in Canada to an author and a fur trader and spent the earliest part of his life in the high Artic.
Neill is married to Deb who is a past college professor at Mercer County Community College. They have one son Ryan, a college teacher, who is married, and they have seven-year-old twins.
When he returned to our church, he told us that the greatest change, since his time here, was that his sermons have gotten a lot better and that he recognizes that coming to know each person and creating a church that loves one another is the most important part of his ministry.
