Thanks for visiting this site!
My name is Tim Wiebe, and I am the Director of the Brookside Institute. The Brookside Institute is an equipping ministry for the church.
A primary way this equipping takes shape is through a series of classes designed to build and/or reinforce foundations of the Christian faith. (Visit our classes page to learn more.) On this site you'll also find a blog intended to support this same priority through posts related to the Bible, theology, and living on mission. I'll also periodically post on miscellaneous teaching tips and philosophy-of-education-stuff. After all, as important as it is to emphasize what we teach, we need to carefully and responsibly consider how we teach as well!
A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
I have served as a pastor in a team ministry environment at Brookside Church for more than a decade. My current role there is Director of the Brookside Institute, men’s pastor, and Director of LIFEcare ministries. Lord willing, I will continue to serve Jesus as He builds His church for decades to come. In addition to this, I also do some adjunct teaching at Grace University in Omaha, NE.
Prior to serving in full-time vocational ministry, I attended Grace University in Omaha, NE from 1998-2002 (B.S., Christian Education, summa cum laude) and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, IL from 2002-2006 (Master of Divinity, summa cum laude). I am an ordained minister in the Evangelical Free Church of America and a member of the Evangelical Theological Society.
Most importantly, I have been married to my wife, Carrie, for sixteen years. We have four young boys and make our home in Omaha, Nebraska.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, writing, crossword puzzles, reading some more, and grilling (over charcoal). Every now and then I wade into a do-it-yourself project, which I usually end up regretting.

My goal is for everything on this site and the blog to be consistent with my identity as a follower of Jesus and local church pastor at Brookside Church. If anything expressed here ever challenges that goal, the fault is mine alone. Please graciously call any deficiencies to my attention.
