pastor tim


Hi! I’m Pastor Tim, the Senior Pastor of Valley Shepherd Church. While I’ve only been around here since November 2007 (the church’s first day in our new building!), I’ve been in full-time ministry since 1980. My wife Cindy and I started out in ministry with 5 years in California, then 17 years in my home state of Ohio (serving 2 different churches), then 6 years in Kansas City. We’re thoroughly enjoying Idaho and the Northwest!—and love our church family here! Cindy and I have three young-adult kids—scattered in Ohio, California and Idaho—and two recently-added “in-laws”!

Those who know me well know that at the core of my being is a great love for people—something I believe the Lord cultivated early in my life. My greatest joy in ministry is seeing lives change by the transforming grace of Jesus Christ.

I’m a graduate of Trevecca Nazarene University, Nazarene Theological Seminary and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Some call me “Dr. Pusey”…but I really prefer just “Pastor Tim.”
