The Faces of Carteret County - Meet Everett Thomas 


In 2008, Carteret County was lucky to gain a new resident.  Everett Thomas, along with his wife Phyllis, have become a very important part of our community.  Everett is a part time priest at St. Francis by the Sea Episcopal church in Bogue Banks, NC. He is a full time friend and advocate for the community he loves so much!  In his spare time, he can be found strolling the beaches at sunrise, watching the birds and enjoying the beautiful views of the Crystal Coast.  He soaks in every moment of life on an island, and shares it with the rest of us in his "poetic" speech!



He is extremely involved in the community and spends much of his time working to support the Boys & Girls Club of Coastal Carolina.  Because of Father Everett Thomas, the island now has a Kayak Club and a Yoga Program.  He is an artist, a photographer, a musician and a writer.  He loves living on the Crystal Coast of North Carolina, and has made an effort to meet as many folks as he possibly can, and learn more about the area's history than people who have lived here forever.

Father Everett Thomas is a husband, a father, a grandfather, a friend, a leader, an adventurist, an inspiration!  He puts folks at ease instantly with his genuine smile, and welcomes anyone into his office for a chat.  In fact, his favorite hymn is "All Are Welcome". I am proud to know Everett Thomas, and so pleased that he has become such a big part of Carteret County!


Thank you Father Everett Thomas!

You make a difference in our community!

Good morning Amy,

I like the posts you are doing to spotlight members of your community! It is indeed a great series and one many should pick up and do in their own communities!

Good Morning Clint!  I don't think I've ever seen Everett without a smile!  He is such a joy to have around....

Dorie - Thank you.  Can't let out any secrets, but be on the lookout for a new challenge soon ;-)  Without the folks who make a community what it is.... there would be no communities!  Everett is amazing!

Amy, Father Everett, needs to retire from all the part time activites he has just to actually enjoy some of them. Where does he find the time? Getting to know the faces of Carterett County, one blog at a time.

Craig - You would like Everett!  He is very important in the lives of many folks here on the Crystal Coast.  He is so laid back and down to earth.... Great Guy!

JoAnn - Thanks.  Everett is awesome, and enjoys life to the fullest.  He is a wonderful example.  He teaches us all to "Lighten Up"... 

Ed - He is a busy man, and I am not sure how he finds the time for all that he does.  He is a good face to know!
