Born and raised in Germany, Tim brings two decades of diverse ministry experience to his role as Lead Pastor. He holds a Doctor of Ministry degree from Portland Seminary and has served in various capacities, including as a university resident chaplain, youth pastor, associate pastor, and senior pastor. His ministry journey has taken him across the globe, giving him the opportunity to live and pastor in Germany, the United States, and Hong Kong. Tim joined The Vine in August 2018 and has been leading the planting of The Vine Church Yuen Long since 2022. He is happily married to Chris, whom he met at The Vine, and together they have a daughter who is their absolute greatest joy. Outside of his pastoral work, Tim loves spending time with his family, connecting with friends, hiking, going for walks, reading, and cheering on his favorite sports teams.
