Tim was born in Kalispell and has been actively involved at Faith his whole life. Sunday School, Confirmation, and A/O youth group established a foundation for his faith. More formation and fruition came through the ministry of Young Life. After graduating from Flathead High School, he started filling his plate at the “potluck of education and experiences.” Serving with Young Life while at Montana State University led to a winter with Skiers and Snowboarders for Christ in Golden, British Columbia. The next four years, Tim spent in Minnesota at the Free Lutheran Bible College and then received a Bachelors of Science in Youth and Family Studies from University of Northwestern, St. Paul. During that time, Tim came on staff with Young Life and married Emily. They moved back to Kalispell where Tim served as the YL Area Director from 2012- 2023. While with Young Life, Tim had many profound and challenging ministry experiences. He also continued his education with the YL training department and their partnerships with Fuller Seminary, Bethel Seminary, Gordon Conwell Seminary and other institutions. Tim loves getting to know people, showing people around Kalispell, riding bicycles, roasting and drinking coffee, smoking meat, and engaging in conversations about knowing and following Jesus. He and Emily have two children; Mara and Judah.

Emily has worked at Faith Church since 2013 and currently serves as the Director of Worship and Youth Ministry. She is a graduate of the Free Lutheran Bible College and received a Bachelor of Arts in Music from the University of Northwestern St. Paul. In her role, her goal is to train and equip the musicians and supporting worship teams at Faith to bring worship services that center on celebrating and communicating the gospel, honoring Jesus, and bringing people into the presence of God. She loves working with Alpha Omega Youth Ministry, where she leads a team of youth leaders and students as they gather to love God, love others, and love life. Emily delights in being a mom, making a happy home, playing music, morning pilates, and having heart-to-heart conversations with friends. Emily is married to Tim, and together they have two children: Mara and Judah.

Micah began attending Faith in 2011 and joined our staff in 2013. He is a graduate of the International ALERT Academy and the Free Lutheran Bible College. As the Office Manager, Micah works to promote the mission of our church through effective and efficient administration, communication, and public relations. When Micah isn’t at the church, he can often be found at Flathead High School training students to run the technical equipment for theatre productions. He enjoys photography, reading, and outdoor adventures.

After taking a long hiatus from the working world to raise her family, Neva is happy to have another way to give back to her church community by serving in this capacity.
