Tom Toombs
(TN and Nationwide)
Beginning in 1976, Tom juggled his way into the hearts of audiences with his ministry mix of comedy-drama-illusion. It soon became clear that his efforts to communicate the Gospel were limited only by his boundless imagination. For nearly three decades, Tom has delighted audiences both large and small, ranging in age from preschoolers to senior adults.
Tom is a unique and inventive communicator, utilizing preaching, drama, mime, juggling, balloon parables, illusion, comedy, and his energetic characters to convey the Gospel. He has performed before a diverse range of ages, races, and denominations throughout the country, being featured at major youth conferences and with the Billy Graham Evangelical Association, and has provided entertainment for several military bases overseas, in addition to teaching deployment-readiness to children.
“I have a really diverse ministry: God allows me to reach kids with the Gospel on one day, then to run around with them the next night, and then have 1,000 adults laughing one minute, crying the next,” explains Tom. “However, my heart has always been especially drawn to young people because it is such a pivotal time in their lives. I suppose that part of my gift is to be able to reach different ages and a broad spectrum of people.”
With a simple and child-like faith, a little juggling, perhaps a parable illustrated with balloons, drama, illusions and mime, Tom Toombs delivers his unique ministry of love and laughter that appeals to the “kid” in all of us.

“Tom Toombs recently performed at our Vacation Bible School “Parents Night” and our Sunday Morning “Kids Day” at First Baptist Church of Friendsville. Both events were absolutely fantastic!

Both children and adults were captivated by his exceptional ability to communicate in ways they could understand. Both events were definitely a hit for people of all ages to relate to. I highly recommend Tom Toombs if you are seeking an event filled with excitement, laughter, over-the-top fun, and a relevant message for ALL individuals!”~ Scott Kidd – First Baptist Church of Friendsville, TN

“By far one of the best Entertainers we have ever had. We had 2 end of season Awards Celebrations on the same day due to the size of our league. The parents that came to our morning ceremony came back to the afternoon ceremony so they could watch him again! He was awesome and he totally connected with the kids. We hope to have him come again. What a great way to end the season. ” ~ Upward Basketball league director, Orlando,FL
