FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — On September 6, 2018, the Board of Directors of The Christian and Missionary Alliance (the C&MA, The Alliance) unanimously affirmed Dr. Timothy (Tim) Meier as the new vice president for the Development area of ministry, effective October 10, 2018. Development is responsible for the communications, funding, and marketing functions at the U.S. C&MA National Office. It produces Alliance Life magazine, Alliance video, resources for the Missions Emphasis and Great Commission Day campaigns, and many other print and digital communications materials to equip Alliance churches, church leaders, and laypeople to engage more deeply in God’s work through The Alliance.
In his communication to the Board of Directors, President John Stumbo gave this endorsement of Dr. Meier:
Tim brings strong gifts of communication and team leadership. He’s known to be a visionary change agent and a team builder. Although young, he’s raised significant amounts of money for ministry causes and has led significant initiatives. His recommendations were stellar and his integrity is evident; his awareness of and engagement with the Alliance family is both wide and deep; his ability to work with multi-generations and ethnicities is exceptional. I could go on, but for these reasons and many more, I eagerly present his name to you.
Tim earned his undergraduate degree in Christian ministries at Indiana Wesleyan University. He then earned a master of divinity and a doctor of ministry in leadership in the global context at Alliance Theological Seminary. He currently serves as the director of Envision, a ministry of The Alliance that identifies and develops missional leaders through short-term trips, internships, leadership development, and ministry opportunities. There are approximately 70 site leaders in more than 20 urban-based Envision sites throughout the world, including the United States.
Prior to leading Envision, Tim served with his wife, Rachel, in youth and worship ministries for five years at Mendham Hills Community Church (C&MA) in Chester, New Jersey. They then ministered for four years as Alliance international workers in France.
“I am truly humbled to join the Development team in leadership for this next season,” notes Tim. “I believe The Alliance is poised for forward momentum, healthy change, and a moment in our history that will pave the way for future generations of new churches, new types of engagement, and aggressive expansion all for the Kingdom of Jesus.”
Tim and Rachel have two sons and live in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
