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 in spiritual and practical ways. 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. Click the links below for more info on our ministry and find the contact area at the bottom of each page to connect with us. God bless you!
Our Ministry Focus:
Outreach and Missions
Whether we are doing acts of kindness, street ministry, disaster relief, creative arts, or mission trips, we enjoy showing the love of God in both spiritual and practical ways to people from all backgrounds and to see His love transform their lives!
2. Speaking Engagements
For over 35 years we have loved engaging with people in a variety of settings like sharing at church services, youth camps, adult conferences, leadership training and mission trips! We love seeing people transformed by the love of God and helping to empower them to make a difference in this world in both spiritual and practical ways.

3. Discipleship & Coaching
Jesus called us all to “make disciples.” We do this by speaking engagements, ongoing relationships, leadership training, leader coaching, zoom sessions, and our many free teachings and courses online to explore Christianity, take steps of faith, build foundation, and train for ministry.

OUR AMAZING MONTH IN S. ASIA!
We had an amazing trip to South Asia! We were there June 15 - July 16th. Here’s a quick overview of our mission trip:
We started immediately with teaching in a Pastor’s Conference for a week. What amazing pastors and leaders who are so self-sacrificing and travel hours to share the Gospel and care for the community!
We then taught a week in a Bible College with young students who are dedicated to the Gospel. Rhoda also taught the students there how to play guitar and it was amazing how quickly they learned. The first 2 weeks we also made several trips up the mountains to far away villages to share the Gospel and encourage the community.
The 3rd week we traveled to another region to connect with another pastoral network. There we witnessed how they are blessing the region with amazing schools for children, the blind, and Bible college students. They also have an orphanage and free medical clinics that travel to places that have no medical help. During that week we also traveled far away and taught church leaders and community members, and we saw amazing moves of the Holy Spirit touching hundreds of lives while we prayed over them.
Our last week was time with another group of students in another region where we spent time ministering to them and enjoying some fun events as well. Rhoda also taught several of them how to play guitar as well. We are so grateful for the hundreds of lives we were able to minister to during our month there! We are forever grateful for this opportunity and continue to pray for the ministries there. Thank you if you were able to pray and support our trip, we can’t do it without the help of others! Every life we touch is also a life touched by those who support us!
We are reviewing our trip pictures and videos and will be posting more soon so check back again for more content

“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.”
