Tim Patton
Executive Pastor
With a background in Spanish and Accounting Tim started his career in a Big 4 CPA firm and worked there for 5 years until God called him into vocational ministry where he has been serving the last 10 years as an Executive Pastor. Tim's passion is in the hybrid of business and ministry coming together to further Jesus' kingdom through the local church. Yes, his love language is spreadsheets, but he's the last guy you'd think was an accountant when you meet him. He lives in Carnation with his wife Sarah, their five children, his mother-in-law, and dog Jovie.

Linda Taggart
Hospitality Coordinator
As a pastor’s kid, Linda grew up in the church Fellowship Hall feasting on potluck fare. Her experiences living abroad and around the US deepened her belief in the power of church community and the joy of living within the abundance of God’s hospitality. Knowing that individuals can better enter God’s presence when they feel comfortable, her desire is to make God’s house welcoming and homey for all who enter. Linda lives with her husband, two children, and 3 goldendoodles in Bellevue where they enjoy boating, gardening, and exploring God’s beautiful creation.
