holds a Youth Ministry degree from Providence College and a Master of
Divinity from Boston University. Lisa is employed with Hospice of Medina
County as their chaplain. They have two daughters, Becca

Tim defines his call to ministry as that of
calling all people to and educating all people about the love, grace,
peace and salvation of Jesus Christ, through preaching, teaching,
guiding and caring for all in the community. The verses that guide his
ministry are Matthew 28:19-20, Romans 8:31, and
Galatians 5:13-14.
Matthew 28
19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in[1]
the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and
teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am
with you always, to the very end of the age."
Romans 8
31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for
us, who can be against us?
Galatians 5
13You, my friends, were called to be free. But do not use
your freedom to indulge the sinful nature[1]
; rather, serve one another in love. 14The entire law is
summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as
yourself."[2]
