Pastor

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’s first call is Christ Church Presbyterian. 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.

Reverend Lucille King
Reverend Lucille King
Parish Associate

Our Parish Associate is a dear lady named Lucille King.  Lucille is from Western New York--Lyndonville High School grad, got her BA from University of Rochester, NY, had one year at Union Theological Seminary in NYC and graduated from U of Dubuque Theological Seminary in 1994 with a Master of Divinity degree.  Lucille served as pastor at Cascade, IA for 11 years, retired in 2005, and has been part of Christ Church ever since.  She enjoys reading, travel, pencil puzzles, and visiting.  Currently, she spends a lot of time knitting dolls for African orphans. She also has 7 living children (1 died), 16 grands and 4 greats. Her family enjoys a reunion every other year and it must look a little like an army battalion reunion with all of the children, spouses, grand children, etc. Lucille spends a lot of time doing things for Christ Church that many of us don't know about.  She helps the pastor with hospital and nursing home visits, arranges for Bible studies, helps with many of our projects such as our Cleveland Connection activities as  well as Family Promises. and I know she prays for us during our successes as well as through our failures.   When Lucille came to Christ Church in 1994, I think we all felt as if an angel had been dropped in our laps.

Nancy Patrick
Choir Director

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.
