Eric K. Thomsen has been appointed by the board to serve a three-year term on the Legacy Council. He succeeds Terry White whose term expired this fall.
The Legacy Council is made up of selected past presidents invited by the Board to serve in an advisory and mentoring role to the Board for a period of three years.
Diane McDougall and Mark Winz are the other two on the three-person council.
Eric has been the managing editor of ONE Magazine since the publication’s launch in 2005. He spent the previous decade at Randall House Publications (now known as D6 Family Ministry). He was a co-chair of the 2013 Nashville convention. He served six years on the EPA board including a term as president (2017-2019).
Thomsen has received multiple EPA awards in various categories, including both the editorial and standing column divisions. A student of church history, Eric published To Honor Our Heritage in 2023, served as editor of the thousand-page Free Will Baptist Convention Sermons (2011) and authored the script of Honoring Our Heritage, a 2010 video documentary exploring the 400-year history of Free Will Baptists, the denomination he serves.
