About me: I trusted Jesus Christ as my savior at the age of 10. I was raised on a farm but moved to the city after my parents divorced. After college (U of I), I worked at an engineering firm for nearly a decade, serving as operations manager and senior scientist. I later earned a master's in ministry and a doctorate in communications. I've been serving in pastoral ministry for 15 years and I'm delighted to be at Trinity Church. Our vision is to see God transforming lives and communities through faith in Jesus Christ!

Family: I dearly love my wife, Malinda, and our four children, Zach (married & heading towards mission field), Hannah, Lydia (high school), and Caleb (high school).

Hobbies: I enjoy the outdoors, time with friends and family, and sports and games of all sorts. Most people wouldn't guess that I ride a motorcycle, am bilingual, wrench on cars, and enjoy boxing.

Favorite verse: My life verse comes from the words of Jesus in Matthew 28: Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.

About me: Youth work is a passion of mine and has been for approximately 15

years now. Research shows that one positive relationship with an adult can

change a child's trajectory in life, and faith tells us that a relationship with

Christ is essential to happiness and success. I have always felt called to grow

relationships with kids and teens while introducing them to Christ as they

encounter all the ups and downs of growing up.

God has guided me every step of the way, even when I didn't know if it was

really my path. This guidance led me to full time ministry in 2020 and God's

clear directions have led my family and I to the conclusion that ministry is a

calling on our lives, not just a vocation for me.

Family: I met my amazing wife , Patty, in 2009 and married her in 2010 since

then our family has grown. Patty works for IKAN - the regional office of

education as an instructional coach. Our daughter Cadence is 13 years old,

loves volleyball and singing Anne Wilson songs. Our son William is 10, and

loves all things fishing.

Hobbies: My hobbies include hunting and fishing. Even if I don't catch

anything I love being outside and love sitting by a body of water and enjoying

God’s creation all around me. I enjoy farming with my father, and grow

aronia berries as a hobby on the Tammen Family Farm in Danforth, as well.
