Gregory became a Christian as an adult, and, since experiencing the love of Christ, his focus and passion have been investing in relationships to draw others closer to God.  As the Minister to Children and Families, his mission is to show Imagine Kids the extraordinary love of Christ and equip families of Imagine Church to raise their children in love and faith.

Gregory graduated from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary - Charlotte in 2017 with a Master of Divinity degree.  He served as the Ministerial Intern at Imagine Church for two years (2015-2017) as part of his Divinity degree program.  While at seminary, Gregory met his wife, Tamra, who also partners in the family ministry at Imagine Church.  They have four children, and, because they know the many challenges of being a family, that is why they are passionate about helping and equipping other families to love one another.

Gregory grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and played college football at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina.  He enjoys college football, working out, and spending time with his wife and family.

From age 17 when he attended South Eastern University in Lakeland, FL, Tim knew that he wanted to combine a passion for teaching and coaching with working alongside young people.  He later graduated from Gardner Webb University with a degree in Physical Education.  Fast forward to today, Tim is a teacher and coach at an area middle school and has been blessed to have influence on athletes and students alike.  For the past 14 years he has hosted a weekly devotional meeting for Fellowship of Christian Athletes before school.  In addition, he took a leap of faith in 2013 and became a youth minister of the church his family attended, sensing that God wanted to use him not just in his daily job, but where God placed him to do His work.

Tim is married to the love of his life, partner and friend Andrea Gunn.  They have two beautiful daughters, Brooklyn and Annastin.  Tim has committed his life to serving God and has learned that there’s no better place than to be in God’s will.  He says they are so blessed to be part of such a passionate body of believers and he is grateful for the opportunity of working with the lives of our youth.
