Our Pastors & Staff
Tim Pollock
Dr. Tim Pollock, Senior Pastor had intended to follow his parents dream of a career in medicine. However, he clearly sensed God's calling him out of pre-med school and into the ministry. He received a Th.g in Pastoral Studies in 1977 and answered the call to pastor Bible Baptist Church of Stockton in 1979. His vision to help individuals find lasting hope in Christ and make wise decisions based on Biblical principles is clearly observed in his “down-to-earth” preaching style. God brought Tim and Pauline together in 2010 after both went through the dark season of losing their spouses. Together they have 12 children, 50 grandchildren (and counting)!
​
Pauline's spiritual journey is an amazing story of God's grace! Raised religiously but without salvation, she received Christ in her early 20's when a personal soul-winner came to her door. For over 25 years she has served faithfully in The Home Church as a bus captain, teacher, vocalist, children's worker, bookkeeper, prayer warrior, and so much more. Her sweet spirit is loved by so many!​
Luke Pollock
Associate Pastor Luke Pollock is a graduate of The Home Church’s Life Training Academy and Life Training Institute. He also received a Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Ministry from Bethany Bible College in Dothan, Alabama. As the eldest of Pastor Tim’s nine children, he has a rich Christian heritage and has experience with people of all ages. Luke’s deep desire to please the Lord coupled with energetic communication skills enables him to be a vital part of God’s working at The Home Church. He is crazy about his wife of twenty years, each of his children and now grandchild.

She also loves to serve alongside her husband in many other ministries. She is the mother of seven children (one in Heaven) and adores the job of raising children and now expecting their second grandchild.
Jeff Craig
Education Pastor Jeff Craig's heart for building strong youth called him out of a career into full-time ministry. He has been working with children and youth since 1986. He also serves as Principal of Life Training Academy, The Home Church’s Christian school with on-campus and home school options. God has used Jeff to make a big difference in many young lives. His servant’s attitude and faithful dedication continue to drive his vision to help young people follow God’s pathway to success. Jeff is a wonderful father and caring husband of thirty-five years.
