Hi, I’m Tim and I’m the Lead Pastor at GT. I grew up in a pastor’s home and have had the privilege of living and ministering both in Canada and the US. I was kind of thrown into ministry at a very young age but  have now been ministering for over 20 years in many different positions and  contexts of ministry. I still feel humbled and honoured that God would allow me these incredible opportunities to be a pastor and leader in His church.

My greatest calling and privilege though is that I am the husband of Jennifer Woodcock and the father of three incredible girls. I love sports (Especially Basketball - Go Hoosiers!!), the outdoors, and reading.

It is my heart to pastor the incredible people that call GT home with conviction and care. I have a strong desire to see the church equipped with a deep understanding of God’s Word and their identity as Sons and Daughters in the Kingdom rule and reign of Jesus. I still believe that the church universal is God’s plan in accomplishing His mission in the world.

I look forward to connecting with you soon and journeying together to see God's purposes accomplished in our generation - In our time!

Renew Your deeds Oh Lord!
