Template:Infobox Poland Tomaszów Mazowiecki is a town in central Poland with 69,600 inhabitants (1995).

Situated in the Łódź Voivodship (since 1999), previously in Piotrków Trybunalski Voivodship (1975-1998).

Tomaszów is home to the TOMY Center, a church plant initiative run by PROeM Ministries. This facility hosts an internet cafe, youth center, and an English Language school called 'Speak Up'. The objective of the TOMY Center is to build relationships with families, providing a bridge of opportunity to build this new evangelical Christian Church. The TOMY Center opened in the fall of 2003 with an overwhelming response in daily attendance and relationship building events.

In April 2004, a gathering of believers marked the first church service and children's sunday school. To this date there are over 70 people attending Sunday worship services. Rafal Piekarski serves as pastor.

On June 18th 2006 several people who have been attending the TOMY church were baptized in the Pilica River that runs through the Christian Youth Center camp property in Zakosciele! Praise the Lord! The TOMY church family gathered for a worship service on the riverside beach as they shared their testimony of their new life in Christ with eveyone there. Following a time of worship and praise, Pastor Rafal Piekarski, along with John Crozier, an elder in the TOMY church and director of the TOMY Center, baptized five believers.
