from the pastor

My family and I are excited to be a part of Harvest.  We are enjoying living in the Hartwood area.

I call myself a third career pastor.  My first career was my 11 years of service in the US Navy.  While in the Navy, I served aboard a submarine for about 6 years and then spent my final years as an instructor at Naval Nuclear Power School.  My second career was spent in Information Technology where I worked for various complanies as a Software Programmer, Software QA and Network Engineer.

I have been a pastor for over 8 years serving churches in Charlottesville and now Stafford.

I am married to Julie who I met in High School.  She is a Registered Nurse working in a Pediatric office in Fredericksburg.  We have two daughters, Sarah and Rachel, ages 14 and 13.

One of my hobbies and passions is coaching.  I enjoy coaching because it is an opportunity to be a positive influence through sports. I am the head coach of FASA Fury Premiere Girls a U14 travel soccer team (www.FasaFuryPremiere.org).

Again, we are excited to be a part of Harvest and we invite you to join us.

Peace,

Pastor Tim
