We are pleased to announce that Tim Dooley has joined the Common Ground staff as our executive pastor. Tim is replacing Nate Smith, who served us faithfully in that role for almost 10 years. Tim joined us as interim executive pastor in November, and assumed the executive pastor position at the beginning of this year. Tim will oversee the administration of the church and help to provide spiritual and professional development for the church staff. 

Tim and his wife Christina have been a part of our body since 1998 and Tim has served as an elder for the last 15 years. They have three children: Caleb (13), Tyler (10) and AJ (6) and live on the north side of Indianapolis. Tim spent 17 years working for Republic Airways, a regional airline headquartered here in Indianapolis and served as its chief financial officer before retiring at the end of 2015.
