Originally from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Tim graduated from Western Bible College in Salem, Oregon (now Corban University). After years working as a Christian camp counselor, juvenile probation officer, and juvenile prison counselor, Tim went on to get a Master’s Degree in Social Work at the University of Washington where he also met his wife, Sarah. They moved to Iowa in 2005. After a few years in Iowa, Tim could no longer ignore the call to pastoral ministry. In 2011, he graduated from the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary with a Master’s in Divinity. Tim and Sarah’s family includes two sons, Geoffrey and Ian, and two American English Coonhounds named Wallace and Gromit. Tim is passionate about the church and helping people encounter the living God through Jesus Christ. In responding to God's call at Christ Church, he desires to foster authentic spiritual growth and nurture. He enjoys reading, hiking, choir conducting, and arranging music.

Judi is our wonderful church secretary!  She is also a long time member and is involved in many aspects of the church.

Nancy came to Christ Church this year and is doing a GREAT job with the choir!! Some of the things Nancy does out side of her choir job are: reading, crafting, musical theatre ( movies, tv and live theatre), and keeping in touch with her family. Things people might not know about Nancy are: She is the 8th in a family of 13, 35 nieces and nephews and I can’t tell you the correct number of great-nieces and great-nephews. Nancy began directing choir as a Junior in High School. She won the Metropolitan Auditions Iowa and toured with opera scenes under the auspices of the Iowa Arts Council.

His daughters attend Prairie Elementary School. Gary is fascinated with exotic fish and when he's not working, he's buying new ones or looking at tanks and other accessories for them. Gary also loves reading history and hands-on projects.
