Meet Pastor Tim Howe

Every Sunday you’ll hear Pastor Tim open God’s Word and preach it verse by verse, clearly and faithfully, with a shepherd’s heart for everyone who walks through our doors.

Tim brings more than three decades of ministry. He has pastored churches in Texas and California, served in North Africa and France, and supported pastors and churches across the Pacific Northwest. He and his wife, Kim, have been married for more than 26 years and have three grown children.

What we believe

Anchored in Scripture. Centered on Jesus.

We believe the Bible is God-breathed, true, and sufficient for life and godliness. We believe salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone, through His sinless life, substitutionary death, and bodily resurrection. We are an elder-led, cooperating Southern Baptist church that affirms the Baptist Faith & Message.
