Pastor Tim Beavis was born and raised in beautiful
Cornwall in the southwest of England. He came to know
Jesus as his personal Savior at the age of 14. After
studying his Bachelors in Business and Hospitality
Management in Birmingham, UK Tim worked in management
with Marriott Hotels in London. It was during this time
that the Lord led him to the USA to serve as an Urban
Youth worker in Camden, NJ. After a year and a
half in Camden, Tim moved to Chicago to study for his
Masters Degree at Moody Bible Institute Graduate School.
While at Moody Tim met his lovely wife Lisa and they
were married in May 2001.
Lisa grew up as a Missionary Kid in the Republic of
Panama but has lived in Illinois for the past 10 years.
She studied Spanish at the University of Wisconsin,
Parkside and earned her MDiv from Moody Graduate School.
She loves working with other women and sharing with them
the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Tim and Lisa arrived at The Orchard Church in the summer
of 2007 after successfully planting and leading Rogers
Park Community Church on the north side of Chicago for
the past 6 years.
Tim loves reading, hiking, drinking coffee, and cooking
up a storm - when he gets the chance (just so long as he
doesn't have to do the dishes!) Lisa enjoys taking bike
rides, drawing, and reading. She also speaks Spanish. |
