THAYER WALLACE

SENIOR MINISTER

I have been married to my wonderful wife, Alyssa for 12 years. We have three children, a daughter named Everleigh (6) and two sons named Toren (4) and Ledger (1). I got my Seminary degree at Cincinnati Christian University and have always worked as a Youth and Worship Pastor. I also played soccer as a goalkeeper in high school and college.


Why do you love being a part of Central?

I love the people and their genuine care. I love Portsmouth and the potential and hope that I see for its future. 


Favorite Bible Verse: John 3:30


What would you be doing on a free day? 

I love playing with my kids and great stories. Whether those stories are in a book, a film, or even a video game, I am going to enjoy it. I also can sometimes be found on a golf course...for longer than I should because of all the extra shots I have to take.
