Family Support

Michael Thomas serves One More Child as the Executive Director of Family Support – Hope Street, where we are working to transform lives in the inner city of Tampa.

For nearly twenty years, Michael has been a passionate advocate for families and the community through counseling and training others on how to overcome obstacles and find their true passions in life. His philosophy on ministry, as he has been known to often quote is: “People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care!”

Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Michael graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice with a minor in psychology.

Michael has been a licensed and ordained minister for twenty-two years and is also a certified Relationship Coach teaching people how to communicate and have lasting relationships through his workshops and seminars. He is currently pursuing a master of divinity degree from Liberty University

Through Michael’s outreach ministries and community projects, he has been able to impact the lives of thousands through his commitment to work with state officials and community leaders to empower low-income neighborhoods and at-risk families. Out of this passion he founded Impact Now LLC, a mentoring program and consulting service for fathers, teen dads, and at-risk males between the ages of eight and eighteen.
