Discipleship and Outreach Pastor
Tim Pollitz
What is your role at FAC?
I serve as the Discipleship and Outreach Pastor. In regards to discipleship, I help oversee the small groups and classes that are currently happening within our church body throughout the week. Though not perfect, by God's grace, my heart is to help foster an organic, discipleship pathway where people are growing in the Lord, in the context of an authentic biblical Christian community for Kingdom impact!
I work to strengthen an Ephesians 4:12 ministry in our local church, so we can "...equip the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ." (Ephesians 4:2)
When it comes to outreach, I help oversee the Live Nativity each year along with an excellent team. I help oversee our English Second Language program and our Special Needs Ministry. I train people in sharing Christ with people locally. I also coordinate biblical in-class and hands-on "field" experiences for our church to grow in evangelism, taking faith-filled risks, all the while learning to as they depend upon the Holy Spirit and God's faithfulness.
How long have you been at FAC?
I've been here since 2022.
What do you love about being a part of the FAC family of faith?
Tell us about your family and your interests outside of ministry.
I've married to my beautiful wife, Meredith since 2010. Time flies! Love you honey, forever always! We try to grab a date night here or there (Thanks to wonderful parents of ours). We have 4 gifts from God, our kids Raelynn, Jonah, Nathan, and Isaiah. Our family enjoys sports, in particular basketball, football, soccer, and running around. We enjoy getting outside, going to the YMCA, riding bikes (if everyone's bikes are working), playing the infamous "Monster" (Dad's form of tag game), watching a family movie on the weekend (popcorn!), walking some trails, and having other families over.
What is your previous training, ministry, and mission experience?
I went to Ashland Theological Seminary School (almost received certificate there). Then, I was the Youth for Christ of Miami Valley director for Darke County North schools for 4 1/2 years. From there, God called me to be the youth pastor at The Alliance church in Greenville, Ohio. I finished becoming ordained through the Christian and Missionary Alliance. After that, I stepped in to be a volunteer interim pastor/elder with a fabulous group of men at CMA church in 2021. Then, received the call in the spring of 2022 to come on to Faith Alliance Church.
