Rev. Carl B. Thompson
Lead Pastor
Rev. Carl B. Thompson has served this congregation for 16 years, since 2008. He has brought about healing, strong Christian leadership, and most of all, an extraordinary vision. He has a sincere pastor's heart and loves helping people to develop and transform their lives through the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. He is a devoted father while being devoted to his calling.
Through his leadership, he has guided the congregation through many transitions. He has led the church toward the acquisition of new church property. This was a significant and emotional transition for the congregation that is 153 years old and has been at the same location all of these years. He navigated the church through this transition amid a global pandemic with sensitivity to all the surrounding factors and issues. He has sustained our 501c-3 and created a financial strategic plan for the future of the church. His leadership and genuine devotion to God have yielded positive outcomes. God has continued to bless the work at this church. He is a young man with unusual wisdom for his age while exhibiting great commitment to kingdom building. We expectantly await how and where God will continue to maintain and expand our ministry. He continues to build upon a great succession of gifted and giant pastors and is truly an added blessing to the life and ministry of the Ebenezer Baptist Church.
He serves as the Protestant Chaplain for the City of Boston Fire Department. He is an alumnus of Temple University with a B.S. Degree in Health Education, he attended Andover-Newton Theological School, Newton, MA, he holds a Master of Ministry Degree from Anderson University, SC., and MDiv degree from Luther Rice College and Seminary, Lithonia, GA. He is pursuing his Doctoral of Ministry Degree from the prestigious United Theological Seminary in Dayton, OH.
