Melody and I are excited to serve alongside the members of First Baptist Spencer.  We know the Lord has brought us to this church and community for this season in our lives and this time in the life of the church and its ministry.  As we begin our ministry we join you in praying for God’s leadership, wisdom and vision for the days to come.  We look forward to seeing First Baptist Spencer grow in connection, discipleship, and service to the community.  We are aware that without God’s leadership and intervention, nothing will be accomplished.  We are also aware that God is already at work in the community of Spencer, Iowa and He is drawing men and women to Himself.  It is our desire to see where He is at work and to join Him in reaching and discipling the individuals around us.  We ask that you join us in prayer as we seek for God’s direction and the work he is doing in the lives of others. - Pastor Tim

Hello, I live on a farm south of Spencer, with my husband Casey. We have lived there for 25 years. Together we farm a corn & bean rotation crop. We also raise a few cows and have a few chickens running around the yard.

I grew up in Schaller, IA, went to school for secretarial and child development. I started coming to First Baptist while dating Casey. It is a wonderful church full of wonderful people. It truly makes you feel like you are at home.

There are a few hobbies I like to do in my spare time, scrapbooking, cooking, love to garden and be outside. Huge animal lover and just love this world that God created.
