Trinity Church Staff
Ryan Mustered
Lead Pastor
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.

Tim Tammen
Ashkum Campus Pastor
About me: Youth work is a passion of mine and has been for approximately 10 years. 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 know how influential church leaders were in my life as a kid and teen and feel the seeds the planted helped me to turn to God in times of struggle and confusion. I have always felt called to grow relationships with kids and teens while introducing them to Christ. Simultaneously, I have been working full time while attending seminary since 2014, and with God's guidance will complete my courses for my Pastor Ministry Certificate in 2020. God has guided me every step of the way, even when I didn't know if it was really my path. God's clear directions have led my family and I to the conclusion that ministry is a calling on our lives.
Family: I met my amazing wife , Patty, in 2009 and married her in 2010 since then our family has grown. Patty is an English teacher at IWHS and our daughter Cadence is 12 years old, while our son William is 9, and have an amazing childlike love for our Lord Jesus, we are truly blessed.
Hobbies: My hobbies include being in the outdoors, hunting and fishing are some of my favorite activities, even if I don't catch anything I love being outside. I enjoy farming, and horticulture on the Tammen Family Farm in Danforth, as well.
Favorite Verse: 1 Timothy 4:12
