There are many amazing leaders of Sacred Mission Church who aren't listed on this page. We think the best definition of leadership is, "Taking initiative for the benefit of others." Thankfully this happens frequently by the people who make up Sacred Mission Church.
This page is meant to let you know of the people who have the privilege to serve Sacred Mission Church and our community as their vocation.
Tim Kimberley
Lead Pastor
tim@sacredmission.church
Tim grew up a few miles south of Collins. His family first moved to the area to farm in the 1850s. Tim would have never imagined growing up in the community that he'd ever be a pastor. While on the rugby team of the University of Northern Iowa in 1997 Jesus revealed himself to Tim and he gave his life to Jesus. For the next 20 years Tim went to seminary in Texas and then was part of helping to plant churches in Portland, OR and in Oklahoma City, OK. In July of 2016, while preaching the funeral of his grandmother Jean Barrett, Tim felt called to come back to Collins and plant a church with a heart to serve the communities of: Collins-Maxwell, Baxter, and Colo-NESCO.
Kaylan McCord
Kids Church Director / Pastoral Assistant
Kaylan@sacredmission.church
Kaylan is a Baxter native and her husband TJ is from Maxwell. After graduating high school, she pursued a career in Court Reporting. Following that path led their family to move to Kansas City and then to Indianapolis. While in Indiana, both her and her husband came to know the Lord. Since then He has brought them back to their old stomping grounds. The Lord provided an opportunity for Kaylan to come on board as Kids Church Director/Pastoral Assistant in February 2023. She is amazed at how the Lord took a desire she had as a young girl to be a teacher and made it into something far better than she could have ever dreamed -- homeschooling her kids at home and teaching the kids in our church.
