Tim Swanson
Pastor/Elder - Preaching and Vision
Tim oversees preaching, vision, the ministry staff, leadership development, discipleship, and administration. His passion is to “help people understand the hope of salvation through Jesus Christ, challenge them to live as Christ lived, and equip them for the work of God’s ministry.” As a California kid who grew up in the East Bay, he has been blessed to minister in the greater Bay Area and call Sonoma County home. He and his wife, Alisa have been married since July 1997 and have three adult children: Ashley, Trenton, and Tyler. Tim has been a Pastor/Elder at Redemption Hill Church since the merge of Foothills Community Church and Calvary Community Church in August 2017. Prior to this merge, he was the Lead Pastor at Foothills Community Church for 9 years. He was also on the pastoral staff of First Baptist Church of Windsor for 8 years and in a bi-vocational role at First Baptist Church of Castro Valley for 8 years. Tim received a Master of Divinity degree in Theology from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary (Gateway Seminary) and a B.S. in Business Administration from California State University of Hayward (East Bay). He continues to be a part of the steering team for The Gospel Coalition North Bay, on the board for Venture Church Network NorCal/Nevada, and has served in the past as member of the Windsor High School Site Council as well as Windsor Unified School District L.C.A.P. Committee. Some of Tim's greatest joys include reading God’s Word; going on dates with his wife; spending time with his children; aviation; and watching the Giants, Raiders, Warriors, Iowa Hawkeyes, Windsor Jaguars, and Healdsburg Greyhounds.
