Rev. Francis M Lieb (shown with wife, Kay) is the senior pastor at Timothy Lutheran Church. He has had the privilege of seeing many lives touched with the saving love of Jesus. When he accepted the call to serve at Timothy in 1987, he saw a great "mission field" in the community, especially in reaching out to the needs of families. This mission has grown beyond the community and reaches the region of Eastern Jackson county. Timothy Church is in the first phase of a long range plan to provide space for future ministry at a new site. Pastor Lieb is especially excited about the future. He says, "The best years of Timothy Lutheran Church are those years still to come. God is calling us to go "forward in faith."
