ESTD: 2011

Pastor Tim and Nadine started Destiny Church in October of 2011 with a shared dream for Destiny to be a church filled with heartfelt praise and worship that touches heaven and changes earth. A church that is so dependent on the Holy Spirit that nothing will stop it nor stand against it. A church whose people are unified, praying and full of the Holy Spirit. A church where people can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit, as they drive by and walk through the front doors.

Pastor Tim and Nadine are parents to three grown children and grandparents to ten grandchildren.
