Tim likes to tell folks he started going to church nine months before he was born. He grew up the oldest of three children in a God centered home, and even though his dad was a pastor, he didn't accept Christ until he attended a concert at church. Being saved at eight years old, Tim didn't have much to repent from, except that he knew he was lost and needed to run to Jesus. As he grew, he felt the Lord calling him into ministry but didn't surrender to God's call until he was 35 years of age. Since 2001, Tim has served in every capacity of the Church. ​Tim's passion is telling others through the Word of God how much Jesus loves them. His greatest joy is to introduce those who are hurting into the arms of Jesus and watch God transform them into new people. Tim invites all who don't have a church home to "check Lakeside out" and if anyone can't attend on Sunday, to attend through YouTube.
