Pastor Tim Graham

Pastor Tim and his wife, Karen, enjoy parenting five children together as they serve in ministry. Both Tim and Karen are graduates of Pillsbury Baptist Bible College in Owatonna. In addition to Pillsbury College, other institutions contributing to Tim’s education are the University of St. Thomas (MBA), Central Baptist Theological Seminary (language studies & exegesis) and Faith Baptist Theological Seminary (Master of Divinity) and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois (Doctor of Ministry).

Pastor Tim’s approach to preaching the Bible is to preach through the Bible book by book, paragraph by paragraph. The reasons for this approach are many. But among the most significant benefits are 1) Ideas contained within a paragraph of Scripture are presented within the context of the human author’s flow of thought, which anchors our interpretation to the author’s original meaning; and 2) This approach avoids the temptation for a pastor to only preach his “favorite” passages or passages that he feels are “important.” The Bible says, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable.”
