Church is Citizen of the Year
Focus January/February 2019
The 81st Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce Annual Membership Meeting and-
Banquet was held on Thursday, January 31 at the VGCC Civic Center.
A major highlight of the event is the recognition of an outstanding citizen who has made
a significant contribution and demonstrated a commitment to the advancement of Henderson
and Vance County. This year, 2017 Citizen of the Year, Tommy Hester presented the 2018
Citizen of the Year Award to Tom C. Church.
Hester remarked, “Portrayed as a guiding light to what community service is all about, our
2018 Citizen of the Year is constantly involved in promoting Henderson and Vance County.
Many community groups have benefitted from our recipient’s unselfish service and sharing of
knowledge, skills, and talent. The organizations are
too numerous to list but include the civic, public, and
business institutions that fuel a community’s econom-
ic engine.
Graciously and humbly committed to Vance
County with a passion for volunteerism and charita-
ble giving, our recipient avoids attention and shuns
the glare of publicity, which led one admirer to
describe our Citizen of the Year as an unsung and
unpretentious star of Vance County.
These accolades came from many throughout
our community. “I have witnessed the unwavering
advocacy for the betterment of our community. It is
apparent that his efforts embody a vision for a more
well-rounded Vance County.” “His ‘service above
self ’ devotion to and in support of community pro-
grams and projects, which benefit all of our citizens,
is inspirational. He has few peers in our community
of persons who have had such a major impact.” “His 2018 Citizen of the Year, Tom
humility has been a model for our students, families, C. Church addresses banquet
and staff. He is relentless about going above and be- attendees.
yond and doing his best, no matter the role he is in.”
Mr. Hester added a few more details of Mr.
Church’s work and advocacy for Vance County. In the field of education, he is one of the
original Board members of the Henderson Collegiate Charter School; he serves as treasurer
of the Board and is instrumental in acquiring funds and overseeing the school’s construction;
he is a life-time trustee of the Board of Kerr-Vance Academy, where he was prolific in raising
funds for the financial support and maintenance of the campus and facilities.
In community involvement initiatives, he is the founder of the Henderson Community
Foundation, serves on the Board of Trustees of Maria Parham Health, on the Board of Trust-
ees of the Occoneechee Council of the Boy Scouts of America and has helped raise tens of
thousands of dollars to support Henderson-Vance County Boy Scouts programs. He served
as the 2018 Chairman of the Maria Parham Health Joint Venture Board and has made signif-
icant personal financial contributions to the construction of the McGregor Hall Performing
Arts Center. Please see Banquet, page 2

members volunteer in the two schools as mentors and tutors for students, Lunch Buddies, class-
room helpers and Prayer Partners for staff members. The church also supplies, on a weekly basis,
nonperishable food items for the Backpack Buddies program, so that students can take the food
items home over weekends and holiday breaks to have something to eat while they are way from school. Church members do even more by
adopting families at Christmas who otherwise would go without gifts and needed food. The church supports families in the schools who
may need warm clothing during the cold weather months, new pairs of shoes or new student uniforms. Their efforts make the students,
their families and staff feel appreciated and cared for.
