Tim also served in a similar role of music director at Glasgow Christian Academy in Glasgow, Ky. Through all of Tim many roles and activities he always put God at the center of everything he did.

Tim's service to God included 40 years of service as Minister of Music beginning and ending at the Edmonton Baptist Church, where he was a member, and also including Calvary Baptist Church and Cave City Baptist Church.
