Short Biography of Tim Gray

 

"Me in a nutshell.  I'm a lover of God, a husband, a father, a minister, a musician, a person in recovery, and a therapist."  

"I learned a few years ago that Timothy in Greek, "Timotheus," means "honoring God."   

"That truly is the desire of my heart, to honor God in all areas of my life."  

"I accepted the call into ministry in 1982. Since then, I have served as a pastor, a minister of music, and a minister of youth. Through all these years I was bi-vocational and also working in the mental health and substance abuse fields."

  • Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling in 1991

  • Renewing my love for playing trumpet - working my way through Arban's Complete Conservatory Method for Trumpet
  • Recently bought an Akai EWI 4000s (Electronic Wind Controller) which I am really enjoying, by the way. It is basically a synthesizer that is played like a clarinet or saxophone.
