Who is Dr. Tom Richter?

What do you do?

I am the pastor of a church located in North Alabama called Cullman First Baptist Church. Cullman is a friendly city between Birmingham and Huntsville, and Cullman First Baptist has a rich history of ministry and missions.

In addition to preaching weekly and pastoring at my local church, I also travel and speak to groups of people about Jesus.

Before moving to Cullman, I served for 14 years as a pastor in New York City at New Hope Christian Church. New Hope is located in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, NYC.

What’s your background?

Like so many, I was born at an early age. Raised in the sleepy college town of Murray, KY, I grew up a happy fellow, interested in basketball, Nintendo, and church. God saved me as a young boy, and as mystical as it sounds, I really believe God called me to be a preacher. After High School, I went to Murray State University and got a degree in English Literature, and then got an M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary, followed by a D.Min. from Beeson Divinity School. I am married to Jackie, and we have three kids, Katie, Carson, and Anna.
