TIMOTHY D. WHITE

Dr. Tim White is the Founding and Senior Pastor of Washington Cathedral, and since 1984 he has built multiple ethnic congregations worshiping in seven different languages. Started from scratch 33 years ago, Washington Cathedral now has an amazing campus with an art gallery, two sanctuaries, a theatre, an indoor zero-entry pool, a gymnasium, a workout studio, a youth center, a state of the art Sunday school, a soccer field, a large waterfall in one sanctuary, regular free medical clinics for the community, a café, a free enterprise business ministry, and a large sanctuary called Mountainside. Pastor Tim graduated from Eastern Washington University with a BA in Psychology and was awarded his Masters of Divinity by George Fox University in Portland, Ore., and his Doctorate at Fuller Theological Seminary. He also lived in Jerusalem while studying archeology at Jerusalem University. He recently received an honorary doctorate from St. Thomas Christian University in Jacksonville, Fla., for his work on institutional entropy.

Pastor Tim has inspired and led the creation of five non-profit foundations that are primary outreaches into neighboring communities and that now extend worldwide. These foundations, in evolutionary development stages, are the Health Resource Center, EXCEL Business Ministries, Build the Family Center, Washington Seminary, and Together for Transformation - which is a leading global project helping the poorest of the poor living in and around the Tegucigalpa City dump. It includes an advanced school for 180 children with five buildings, a computer lab, a nursery, a medical clinic, a home building program, an exploding church made up of small groups, and a seminary for rural pastors. Not only are there more than 1,000 people working in the dump who are provided food and water, but the children growing up in the school are headed to the university. Pastor Tim was previously a mentor at Fuller Theological Seminary and is currently an adjunct professor at Northwest University in Kirkland. He is also a nationally recognized innovator with the meta church concept.

He is an avid sports enthusiast, fisherman, and golfer. He enjoys the outdoors, especially the Wallowa Mountains of Eastern Oregon where he gained the inspiration to build this church.
