T.J. is a 2018 graduate of Mid-Atlantic Christian University, where he earned a degree in Youth and Family Ministries. He brings his education and lifelong passion for ministry to his work here at Creeds. Having grown up in a ministry-centered family—his father served congregations throughout Ohio and Virginia—T.J. has been actively involved in church life from an early age.

During his studies, T.J. completed an internship with Jamesville Christian Church in Jamesville, NC, as well as a summer internship alongside his youth minister at his home church in Ohio. These experiences helped shape his commitment to serving and mentoring the next generation.

T.J. and his wife, Ashley, share a deep love for working with the youth of the church, guiding them as they grow in their faith and relationship with God. Together, they organize events, volunteer regularly at Camp Rudolph, and serve faithfully as Sunday teachers.
