Randy & Debbie Bloom

Central district

MEMPHIS, Tennessee—Randy Bloom, central district superintendent, was born in Pen-nsylvania. His father was in the Air Force, so Bloom spent his youth in numerous locations, including Great Britain.

He attended Ambassador College in Big Sandy, Texas, where he met his wife, Debbie. They graduated in 1975 and were sent to Atlanta, Georgia, where he was employed as a ministerial trainee. After the denomination had a major layoff in 1976, Bloom sold building materials for eight years with Huttig Sash and Door Co. in Atlanta. He also started a specialty millwork sales business. He was ordained as an elder in 1976.

In 1984 Bloom was re-employed as the assistant pastor in Atlanta. In 1989 the Blooms were sent to pastor in Somerset, Kentucky. The next year they were sent to pastor the Syracuse and Utica, New York, churches. In 1998 the Bloom family moved to pastor the church in Memphis.

Bloom has earned master of arts in religion and master of divinity degrees from Liberty University.

In 1999, Bloom began to serve as superintendent for the Central district. “Pastoral ministry is difficult,” he said. “Pastors need someone they can turn to for help, especially when things get tough. I hope I can be that someone for them.”

To train and equip pastors and members for ministry, Bloom conducts ministry development meetings at eight locations throughout the district. He especially enjoys the personal visits he has with pastors and their wives.

Debbie is employed as a customer service manager by S/G Industries. The Blooms have two children: Lisa (who is married to Chris Higgins), and Ryan.
