through this past year, and even in
this new year, there has been such an
encouraging display of generosity and
humility as Coram Deo Academy students
and families have stepped up to be sowers
in the community. Several of our families
have done so by volunteering their time
and resources at GRACE.
GRACE is a nonprofit agency in Grapevine that provides social
services (food, clothing, shelter, financial, etc.) to individuals and
families in the community who are going through a crisis, with
the goal of helping them to become self-sufficient again. Several
CDA families have been a part of GRACE’s mission by consistently
serving at GRACE over the last several years, including this past
year during the pandemic.
The Kofink family (Flower Mound Campus) has been serving with
GRACE for about six years. Each year, Ken and Debbie Kofink,
along with their two children, Brendon (12th grade) and Danielle
(10th grade), participate in food distribution for Thanksgiving
and Christmas. This event is set up as an outdoor drive-thru for

families where volunteers greet them and load food into their
car. “GRACE has an excellent model of building up, coming along
side, and providing resources to get those in need on their feet
and on their way,” Debbie said. “It serves the community in a
mighty way.”

T ommy Nelson has been on staff at Denton

as Senior Pastor for 35 of those years.
One of four boys, Tommy grew up in Waco, Texas,
where he played football and baseball. Tommy was the
quarterback for the North Texas Mean Green, where he
was presented with the gospel by a member of Campus

changing effect on Tommy, including introducing him
to his future wife, Teresa. He holds a degree from UNT
and has a Master of Arts degree in Biblical Studies from
Dallas Theological Seminary.
Reverend Nelson received his calling to the ministry and
entered Dallas Theological Seminary in 1977 while he
was Associate Pastor at Denton Bible Church. In 1986, he
became Senior Pastor, overseeing multiple teaching and
discipleship ministries. Tommy has taught over 150 Song
of Solomon Marriage Conferences nationwide, is featured
teacher for a number of video series, and is the author
of several books including the best-selling The Book of
Romance, A Life Well Lived: A Study of the Book of Ecclesiastes,
and Walking on Water When You Feel Like You’re Drowning.
He has also been a featured speaker for several national
ministries such as Focus on the Family, Josh McDowell,
Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and FamilyLife Today.
Tommy still travels as speaker but finds himself most
weekends in the pulpit of Denton Bible church teaching
his congregation.
Tommy married his best friend, Teresa, in 1972. They have two
sons, Benjamin and John Clark, who are both married and,
between them, have given Tommy and Teresa six grandchildren.
