In addition to his pastoral ministry, Reverend Thomas serves as the Baltimore City District Overseer for the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship. Pastor Thomas’ commitment and love extends not only to the people of God, but to the community as well. He is the founder of Urban Life Solution Inc, a community development corporation that is designed to effectively minister to individuals, families, and the urban communities at large by teaching and empowering them to overcome societal and economic strongholds.

Theatre Morgan provides the Baltimore and its surrounding area with four major productions within the academic year (two per semester). In addition, productions are performed on and off campus directly related to youths.
