Loving God, Loving People!

Pastors Tom and Rhoda Wilhoit

Our Story

We’ve had the joy of being involved in full time pastoral ministry in the Sarasota, Florida area for over 27 years. In 2021, we felt led by God to step aside as Senior Pastors and prepare for a new season of ministry. Since then we started a ministry called, “Salt & Light”. We are based out of Sarasota, Florida but travel all over to share God’s love and truth. Jesus called Christians to be like salt and light, to make a difference in this world. Our focus is to love God and love people well. We want to see them restored and empowered by the Holy Spirit! We also love to develop and coach leaders.

Here are the areas we are focused on

OUTREACH

Whether we are doing acts of kindness, street ministry, disaster relief, or sharing the Gospel, we enjoy showing the love of God to people from all backgrounds and to see His love transform their lives!

TEACHING & TRAINING

We love teaching through speaking engagements and our online discipleship, with over 160 free teachings and many free college level courses to explore Christianity, build faith & train for ministry. 

CREATIVE ARTS

We enjoy helping ministries work together to glorify God! With creative arts we work with choirs and teams for worship, dance, drama and celebrations to lift up the name of Jesus in a service or community project.

LEADER COACHING

We love developing and coaching leaders! Whether you want to become a licensed or ordained minister or would like us to come as coaches or consultants to help you or your ministry, we got you covered!

You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
— Jesus Christ—Matthew 5:13-16
