Pastor Tim Lin

Pastor Tim Lin was born in Taiwan and moved with his family to the United States when he was 7 years old. He grew up in the Bay Area and always had an interest in art and music. Even though he attended church all his life, it wasn't until he was in college that he truly understood the gospel and became a follower of Jesus Christ. After working for several years as a graphic designer, and serving faithfully at his church, Tim felt the call to full-time ministry and decided to pursue training at the Master's Seminary in Southern California. After completing his studies in 2015, he moved back to the Bay Area to serve as the English Youth Pastor at CIBC. Tim and his wife Christina have been married since 2016, and are the proud parents of 2 crazy kiddos: Olivia (almost 3) and Lucas (almost 1); as well as 2 crazy doggos: Rogue (a 16 year old terrier mix) and Gizmo (a 3 year old Corgi). In his spare time, Tim enjoys audiobooks, sci-fi movies, art, music, and video games.
