Along with his family, Briggs has been active in Faith Assembly and Faith Christian Academy in Orlando for 13 years. He was heavily involved in sports, scholastic endeavors, church ministries, fine arts, and mission trips throughout his academic career.<\/p>\n

Pursuing Excellence<\/h3>\n

As the recipient of many academic, faith, and sporting awards, Thompson pursues excellence in all he does. He is young leader who has demonstrated hard work, discipline, and humility. He says that remaining rooted in his faith is a top priority.<\/p>\n

Defining Moments<\/h3>\n

From the time he accepted Jesus into his heart for the first time at the age of four, to now planning to attend North Central University, Briggs has experienced several defining moments in his faith. He has served on a mission team in Haiti, preached a message at the Assemblies of God National Fine Arts competition, and learned to hear the voice of God from a young age. Briggs sees these defining moments as preparation for a lifetime of serving God. He believes that North Central University will be the best environment to continue grow spiritually and intellectually.<\/p>\n

Bethany Harshbarger, Executive Director of Enrollment, affirmed Briggs\u2019 selection for this honor. \u201cTommy has a bright future and we know that North Central will be impacted by his presence on campus,\u201d Harshbarger said. \u201cHe\u2019s demonstrated both\u00a0academic excellence<\/a>\u00a0and a clear response in his extracurricular activities to God\u2019s call on his life.\u201d<\/p>\n
