From Idea to Reality: The Evolution of Thomas Todd Ministries, serving the communities throughout the world, and we began some 25 years ago.

Community Services from Community Centers:

​

Cross-Functional Christian Fellowship - - - Wouldn't you want to know your brothers and sisters, 

to grow with them in the faith, to realize the possibilities of new found relationships with them and 

having Christ in the midst, speaking and listening to you. Just think how powerful a unified body

of Believer's would be in every community around the globe!

​

Sound far fetched? Maybe at the moment, but by utilizing personal relationships, media fellowship,

traveling to others cities, meeting, greeting, praying, and seeking God's direction with your new

found relations. This is available now, just reach out and touch someone! Does anyone remember that slogan for a Corporate Giant over the years!

​​

You've heard the term "What would Jesus do," they would pray with those who sought that, but always praying for them even without their knowledge.  The Centers   will be a location for prayer, social services, fellowship, and local singings, most everything a Christian could imagine that would bring glory to God!

In the year 2000, Thomas Todd rededicated his life to God and volunteered with his pastor at a local Baptist church in King, N.C. with their in-house church media, first the bulletin production and distribution, then with the audio and video recordings for radio and the internet with SVHS camera and editing equipment. Thomas also started preaching on the local radio and streamed on Global Gospel Radio with Brother Bill Hale of King, a local Baptist preacher. Bill was a revolutionary with the creation of the Internet streaming before it was popular with the likes of You-Tube. He inspired many Christians in the area and provided another outlet to ministry God's Word in song and teaching/preaching. 

​

In 2001, Thomas began his ministry under the name of Rock Haus Musek and offered music recordings in his basement with some Tascam equipment and a CD burner. As time progressed Tom began to volunteer at the local Christian Television Station and learned about Television productions, all phases, while enjoying this time at TCT in Greensboro, N.C. he met some new friends with similar interests and of course many who came for interviews across the U.S. on this Christian station. Tom then took up the idea of producing programs for local ministries and play them on the PBS stations, mostly on GCTV, (Greensboro Community Television). In the beginning Tom met another person, Robert, who joined together with equipment to form this ministry, Zion Media Group. 

​

Tom began Bible college in the Spring of 2004 and earned two degrees in Christian studies at the end of 2007.  During this time, he was doing Community and Church Ministry.  In 2010 Thomas began working in a Graduate program at John Wesley University in High Point, N.C. While working in the Education field he earned his Master's in Christian School Education. Thomas worked with many Youth programs, both in churches and the community.  He worked with teens while employed with the YWCA, a program that worked with local schools with troubled teens, some were incarcerated, and others were living at group homes for troubled youth.  Another time in life Tom worked with the Salvation Army Boys and Girls club in Winston-Salem, N.C. with elementary and secondary school children after school and summer programs, he also drove a minibus to pick up children from school daily bringing them to the center and to club outings.  Thomas was also called by God to join specific churches. Once to a Baptist church where the pastor was elected as the N.C. Baptist Association President, Tom understood from God to be his prayer bearer and also to work with the uniquely physical and psychologically challenged individuals.  Old Town Baptist church had local group homes that would bring their families of adults for ministry.  When the church started following Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Ministry and Teachings, Tom and his wife Tina departed as Tom understood from God that was a business plan fitted with some scripture instead of it being God's plan for man and joined Beck's Baptist church of Winston-Salem.

​

Tom was interested in learning more of the Pentecostal denominations and how they functioned in the Kingdom of God and by prayer, God led him to associate with Winston-Salem First, an Assemblies of God church for a period of time. While here Tom also worked with a group of adults with various physical needs and psychological variances. God gifted Tom with an understanding of heartfelt needs of some of these disadvantaged young men while working ministry in one of his college professor's church at Eagles Mills Assembly of God and was enabled to utilize this Holy Spirit endowed gift with others along his way.

 

Later, God sent Tom and his wife Tina to join a Church of God to work as a lay minister where Tom started studies towards a Bishopric. All the while working with a local group home of adult's challenged with physical and mental handicaps. Tom drove the wheel-chair bus.  Thomas has always had a caring heart to serve even the least of these. 

 

​Another Baptist church, Pilgrims Rest, that God led him to join was located in the Hood, near the projects, Tom was directed by God to join this very small congregation upon which he and another Caucasian man of another Black church up the street came together to evangelize the neighborhoods in the area which astounded many of the locals. Yet, they came in the name of the LORD, at different times of the day, week and even on some Sunday mornings, knocking on doors to arouse some to come to either of their churches or any church in the neighborhood, for they had talked to other pastors in the area informing them of their petitions to the people.

​

Over time God would have Tom and Tina back on the road travelling to other churches in the Triad, into Virginia several times over the years, South Carolina to study English as a Second Language meetings while fellowshipping with hundreds across the nation as the Lord led them, for by His stripes we were healed and prayed for many for healings, and other auspices as God led them.

​

Both Tina and Tom volunteered numerous times with other ministries, radio stations, and churches, helping New Hope Methodist church with their annual Harvest Festival, arranging for outdoor musical equipment and locating singers and instrumentalists, even Christian dancers as with other activities throughout the city, all usually under the veil, keeping a low profile for the other ministries to receive the accolades.  

​

Thomas really enjoyed stopping by the little Methodist church in Tobaccoville,  where he was always invited to sing in the choir with the regulars. 

 

​There are countless other occasions of ministry  that Tom took to the streets, God had him at times to stop by unlocked churches to go in and kneel at the altar and pray for that church, the ministers, sometimes leaving a bible turned to a particular scripture or even turning the bible pages that they had resting on the lectern, pulpit, tables or pews and in chairs. Many tears have been left on altars of all different types of Christian Churches. Quite often Tom made rounds of Wake Forest University in prayer as it was founded by and under the Southern Baptist Treatise, though it has slidden into a wealth of controversies with the addition of a Lesbian pastor of their church. 

​

Thomas had been taking care of his parents for several years at his childhood home in Hogansville Georgia and then moving his parents up to N.C. in 2020 then back to Georgia in 2022 Tom, Tina and his parents moved, the home being small and the drinking water contaminated they all moved to Roanoke, Al in 2023. Both Tom's parents had different forms of dementia, his dad passing in November 2023 and his mother in February 2024.

 

​In, June 2024 God told Tom He was coming soon and wanted His Church, not just denominations but "THE CHURCH, HIS CHURCH" readying to fight the evil that seeks to destroy the neighborhoods, streets, schools, and lives. God has a message for us all, UNITE.  This is not about the term "Universal church" or any other body of religious people, this is about GOD's Family, HIS Children coming together to serve other BELIEVER'S, no matter their church doctrines and to spread His Love to all who are our Neighbors,   and  one way is to tell their stories of how Jesus changed their lives, promoting Jesus' Greater Love.

​​

Having taken the name of Solomon's Porch in 2008, we are now incorporated in Alabama as Thomas Todd Ministries as The Secretary of State records some other having that name, we're ceasing use of Solomons Porch Incorporated and turning that ministry over to a friend in North Carolina. God has directed us to incorporate under Tom's name, Thomas Todd Ministries where we will still be guided by Our Loving Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit as each have their own appreciation within the Triune God Head.

​

Jesus Christ is the only way to know The Father in Heaven, and by the tutelage and comfort of The Holy Spirit we will continue traveling the road set before us.
