In 1970 through 1984 under the Presiding Bishop L.E. Best, of the Highway Pentecostal Church Of Christ in Whiteville North Carolina, where she accepted Christ into her life, in 1971. Working wherever her hands found a need be it singing in the choir to a doorkeeper, ushering.

In 1984 Pastor Thomas moved to Fayetteville, North Carolina and continuing her calling, she would come under the leadership of Presiding Bishop Juan P. Bautista, Pastor of New Galilee Church Of God In Christ Jesus Of The Apostolic Faith Inc. Fayetteville, North Carolina from 1984 -1987.

 Still in the service of God, she would earn the nickname Fire Starter and be elevated to President of the Usher Board, Pastoral committee, Overseeing of the ministers and still singing for the Glory of the Lord in the choir, and teaching Sunday school.

It would be in 1987 Pastor Thomas would have to face the biggest steps to becoming one of Gods leaders. She would move to Clarksville, Tennessee from 1987-1994, grappling with where the Lord wanted her to be. 

Bright and Morning Star Church was started in the year of 2000. The church's first place of worship was held at Quality Inn in the conference room located on Riverside drive. Worship service was only held on Sunday mornings because of limited access to the conference room. Bright and Morning Star Church remained at The Quality Inn for 3 months from February 2000 to March 2000 but with much praying, fasting, and praising The Lord finally blessed us with another place of worship. A store front for Bright and Morning Star Church was soon opened at The Pet Plaza on Fort Campbell Blvd. Not long after The church body began to grow and extended itself more into the community. In April of 2003 Easter Sunday service was our first Sunday Service in the building that we have today. It is our  most fervent prayer that God will someday bless the body again with a church to call our own that will be more equipped to house, preach, and teach more of the growing community of Clarksville. Pastor Thomas has a vision and believes in a future for Bright and Morning Star Church. A future generation is growing within the youth of today for tomorrow's future. We thank God The Shepherd of our church Pastor Thomas and we thank God for Bright and Morning Star Church, the church of today and tomorrow. HALLELUJAH!!!!!
