Pastor Tim Chiarot

Hello, my name is Tim.  I am the pastor here at the Church of the Gunks EPC.  This April will mark the 19th anniversary of my marriage to my wonderful wife Julie.  We have two children: Luke and Grace… and our dog, Pupper (creative, I know).  2024 marks my 15th anniversary as a pastor, but it is my first year as the pastor of the Church of the Gunks. 

My interests include music, movies, golf, and reading.  I am a bit of theology nerd and very much enjoy school.  In fact, I’m currently pursuing a Doctorate of Ministry.  However, one of my most formative experiences as a pastor would be my time as a hospital chaplain.  I sometimes describe my training by saying that school taught me to speak, but the hospital taught me to listen.  I look forward to welcoming you here to the Church of the Gunks EPC.
