TIM CICCONE
LEAD PASTORTim has worked in Covenant Ministry since 1994 – beginning at Faith Covenant Church in Breton, Alberta, Canada. That pastoral journey called him through the years to the Denver, Colorado Area; Forest Lake, Minnesota; Muskegon, Michigan; the Kansas City area, and for the past 8+ years, Tim has served the Covenant Church as a denominational leader on the Make and Deepen Disciples team based out of Chicago.
Tim has been married to Maria for nearly 25 years and have known each other since they were children attending Crossroads Covenant Church in Forest Lake, MN. They have four beautiful children – Caleb, Josiah, Samantha, and Ethan.
The Ciccone family deeply loves sports and activities, the beach, their backyard deck, and celebrating the small and ordinary moments God brings daily.
