Some things of interest about Pastor Tim
I was raised on a farm until I was six and a half. We then moved to Australia and lived there until I was just about done with second grade. We ended up in Michigan where we lived until I graduated from Michigan State University.
God did some amazing things while I was at MSU.
My freshman year, I began to understand the gospel and decided that I wanted Jesus to be my Savior.
The next year I was faced with the hard choice of being the master of my life or letting Jesus be my Master. He won out.
That same summer, I met my wife, Kate, while working at Lassen Volcanic National Park as well as serving with the Christian Ministries in the National Parks. God used that experience to open the door for me to give my life as a pastor.
Kate and I were married the following year and finished our undergraduate work at MSU together. The next year we went to Asbury Seminary in Wilmore, KY.
After finishing serminary, we served the Lord in the Michigan Christian Campus Ministries, AKA His House. We were blessed with this great opportunity to learn ministry from Gary Hawes and many others. However, while my heart wanted to serve Christ, my soul was wanting life to be about it. So after 5 years of ministry in a small church and the campus of Lake State, I sensed the Lord wanted to work on me apart from ministry.
We moved to Florida to be near my mother who was alone in Vero Beach. I worked for 84 Lumber company for 4 years. During that time the Lord worked on many of those issues in my life. Most of all, he was preparing me to be all about Him. When the time was right, God sent us to serve in Ft. Lauderdale with the Christian and Missionary Alliance. While working bi-vocationaly for Builders Square, the Lord blessed our ministry and we made many good friends.
Then the Lord called us to Friendship Alliance Church in Callahan. Once more we are back in the country ministering to families as God uses us to make disciples. We have been here for almost 18 years. We are seeing God working in many lives and doing a wonderful work in transforming hearts.
