Tim comes from a large, loving, Christian family where he is the third out of six children. Aside from ministry, he also enjoys watching and playing sports, barbequing, the beach, and hanging out with friends and family.

Tim heard the call of God in his life to help transform this generation of students into disciples of Christ. This call has become one of his incredible passions. As such, his charge is also one of his life verses, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:19-20) After graduating from Porterville High School he attended Azusa Pacific University to prepare for ministry.

While studying at Azusa Pacific he served at Porterville First Assembly of God and Yorba Linda Friends Church as a youth intern. As an intern he had the opportunity to regularly teach students in a large group setting; lead weekly small group Bible studies; and plan major youth events and trips such as camps and retreats. He graduated from Azusa Pacific University in May of 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Christian Ministries and a minor in Biblical Studies. Shortly thereafter Tim was hired here at PEFC as Interim Pastor to Student Ministries.
