Tom and Susan Gaddis: Senior and Associate
Tom’s duties as Senior Pastor keep him busy, but he finds time for working with other community pastors. His heart for church unity and prayer has motivated him to labor with likeminded pastors on the Central Coast of California. Starbucks has become his second office as he regularly meets with city leaders and Atascadero pastors. Together they have planned citywide prayer meetings, pulpit exchanges and an annual pastor’s retreat. Tom is known for his humor, wisdom and gift of teaching.

Tom is recognized as a gifted retreat and seminar speaker who often teaches on leadership principles, relationships, intimacy with the Lord, spiritual growth and the power of the Holy Spirit. His ability to combine a depth of scripture knowledge with memorable illustrations and practical application makes his messages exceptional. Tom has written for the Foursquare Advance magazine and various newsletters.

As Associate Pastor, Susan ministers in teaching, counseling and writing material for the church Ministry Training Center of which she is the director. Her ministry of intercession involves leading a citywide intercession group connecting many of Atascadero’s churches. She often works with other communities in setting up multi-church intercession groups and spiritual mapping teams. A popular conference and retreat speaker, Susan enjoys teaching on intercession, relationships, deliverance, leadership, contemplative prayer and parenting. In her spare time she enjoys gardening.

As a freelance writer and speaker, Susan has enjoyed many avenues for her work. She is the author of the book Intercessors, God’s End-time Vanguard which is published by Pathway Press. This book gives practical and scriptural instruction on intercession. The Foursquare Advance magazine and Teaching Home magazine have published her articles. She is the past editor of the newsletter Tender Touch, published for pastors’ wives on the Western District of Foursquare Churches. In addition, Foursquare Women International published her Ishshah Bible Study series for many years. These Bible studies have been updated and are currently being sold in their ministry website bookstore, Eternal Foundations Bookstore. Her Family Discipleship Manuals are a series of reproducible Bible curriculum written for homeschoolers and Junior Churches and are also sold in the bookstore along with some of the courses written for ministry training.
