Lady Diana Thomas

First Lady

First Lady Diana Thomas, originally from Miami, FL, dedicated her life to the Lord at 19 and received the Holy Ghost at 26 at Faith Mission for Christ, where her parents served as pastors. In 1996, she relocated to Anniston, AL, joining Mission Church of GOD by Faith under Pastor Vickie Folks. There, she embraced leadership roles, becoming Youth Director and Sunday School Teacher in 2000, and was ordained as a minister between 2001-2003. She married Bishop Thomas in June 2016.

When not ministering, Lady Thomas treasures time with her family. She became a Sunday School Teacher at All American in 2018 and was appointed Sunday School Superintendent in 2019. With 19 years at Walmart, she advanced from cashier to the optometrist department.

As a leader, her mission is to guide others to Christ, encouraging them to trust God and believe in their potential. “This is the day of Salvation! You don’t have to wait until tomorrow; you can receive salvation TODAY!”

Evangelist Sharon Thomas

Assistant Pastor

"If you are looking for a church that genuinely cares about people and their walk with Christ, this is the place for you and your family. In addition to the Pastor, Bishop Vernon Thomas, each of the people I have encountered were warm, kind, and considerate. The service encourages gratitude and praise through expressions of singing, dancing, and participation. It is an experience that will challenge you and change you for the better. My wife and I will continue attending and hope to meet you (the person reading this review) someday."

"...such an amazing church. I love this church because of the warmth and love I feel. I feel liberty as well. I love the way Bishop Vernon Thomas preaches the WORD and the feeling you have after the WORD. If you don't have a church to attend, The All American Holiness Church would love to have you."
