About Patient Praise Music

At Patient Praise Music, our vision is for a vibrant, empowered, passionately worshipping Church. Our mission is to produce worship music and participate in ministry that encourages and facilitates the church at large to "Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God" (Col. 3:16).

  Tim has been singing, playing piano, and playing percussion since childhood. In college he started songwriting. Initially they were scripture songs, a practice which he continues to this day. 

During college, Tim met his wife, Sheri who plays flute and piano. They were married in 1992. Sheri, graduated with her B.A. in music education from Western Oregon in 1993. After graduating from Corban University (Western Baptist College) in 1995 with a bachelor’s degree in music education, Tim entered seminary and received his Master of Divinity degree from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2001. Since that time, Tim has served as an Associate Pastor of Worship and Discipleship in several churches in Missouri and Colorado. 

In 2017, Tim and Sheri and their family moved to Dallas, Oregon (where Tim grew up) to take care of his mom. Today, they live on a small hobby farm where they enjoy farm life and raising their youngest four children. (by the way they have 12 total!) Tim and Sheri have been married 33 years.
