Janey Thomas,
​Campus Minister​

In 2014, God led Janey back to Ada to serve as the Campus Minister at Momentum, where she continues to guide and invest in the lives of ECU students. She married her best friend, Tony Thomas, in 2020, and together they feel blessed to serve their community and share Christ’s love.

Janey’s unwavering commitment to faith-based leadership, student support, and community service has made a lasting impact on the ECU campus and beyond.
A native of Lone Grove, Oklahoma, and a 1997 graduate of Lone Grove High School, Janey earned her Bachelor of Science in Education from ECU in 2002, specializing in Early Childhood Education. Since then, she has devoted her life to ministry and student development through various leadership roles across Oklahoma.
Janey’s ministry journey includes serving as Director of Christian Education at First Presbyterian Church in Ada (2002–2006), Director of Children’s Ministry at Will Rogers Methodist Church in Tulsa (2006–2008), and Associate Campus Minister at the University of Oklahoma Wesley Foundation (2008–2014). Since 2014, she has served as the Campus Minister for Momentum Campus Ministry at ECU, an environment where students are empowered through faith, community, and service.
Janey’s influence on campus is felt far and wide. She serves as character coach for ECU Cheer, Volleyball and the Pride of Tigerland Marching Band, investing in the personal development of student-athletes each week. From mentoring student groups to organizing team bonding activities, providing meals, and supporting students during times of crisis, Janey’s care is comprehensive and heartfelt. She has also been a faithful presence at countless games and events, traveling with the volleyball team and supporting recruitment efforts for volleyball, cheer and marching band.
In addition to campus ministry, Janey and her team regularly provide meals and essential support to ECU students. Her service extends into the wider Ada community through weekly mentoring at Willard Elementary, organizing canned food drives, and volunteer efforts at PAWS, Abba’s Tables, and the Tiger Victory Garden.
She and her husband, Tony Thomas, Site Director at Cross Point on Lake Texoma, were married in 2020 at Ada First Methodist Church. Together, they open their home to ECU teams and share life with students and coaches alike.
A lifelong member of the ECU Alumni Association, distinguished service award winner in 2025 for ECU, Janey’s devotion to her alma mater is evident in all she does. Whether she’s visiting churches across the state to promote ECU and Momentum, meeting with coaches and students, or hosting celebrations and community events, she represents the heart and spirit of ECU in action.
