Tom Murdock
Tom was born in Pensacola Florida and has been living in Tennessee since 1990.
A graduate of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Tom came to the Disciples through several years of searching and prayer. Experiencing Communion on a weekly basis gave new meaning to worship, as a seminary professor had once commented about the first communion between Jesus and Disciples, “How could they ever smell or taste bread and wine and not remember Jesus?”
Tom has served Disciple of Christ congregations in Shelbyville, Union City, and now in Tullahoma where he has been the senior pastor since 2005. He and his wife Angie share their home with two cats.
Vicki Collinsworth
Vicki has been a church musician since the age of sixteen.
For the past ten years she has served as the organist for First Christian. In 2014 she also began serving as the music director. Vicki currently devotes most of her time to composing and arranging for different venues she is involved with, including FCC Sanctuary Choir, FCC worship service, Tullahoma Civic Choir, and Motlow State College programs.
Her church music is published with Lorenz Publishing, Hope Publishing and Hal Leonard.
Mollie Donihe
Mollie is a third (and final!) year divinity student at Vanderbilt Divinity School.
She grew up nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia and loves them dearly. Having first felt a call to the land, Mollie went to Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, NC to study Sustainable Agriculture. While in college her academic and vocational interests shifted, and she graduated with a degree in Social Work and a newfound illumination of her call to ordained ministry.
Over the last two and a half years of divinity school, Mollie has developed her deep passion for being a part of a church that embraces people as their whole selves – goofy, joyful, grieving, snarky, quiet, hurting, irreverent, and all. She loves finding ways to weave three of her biggest interests – music, cooking, and textile work – into her ministry. In this same vein, she has recently finished writing her thesis on a ministerial approach to quilting collaboratively for healing spiritual trauma (and would love to talk more about it!).
After graduating divinity school, Mollie looks forward to continuing her ministry in exciting new ways alongside her fiance and favorite theological sparring parter, Ryan, who is also a Disciples clergy-to-be.
