Randy Youngblood, Sr. Pastor
Randy and Kim came in 1989 to help start TMCC. Several families had gotten together to start a church that could reach this generation for Christ and not be limited in the number of people who could attend. Randy and Kim, who had grown up in Christian homes, wanted to attempt something that would fail if God wasn’t in it. After some initial enthusiasm TMCC was down to three families and still unable to find a pastor, the offer to start that kind of church and go “until the money runs out” was just that kind of opportunity they were looking for even if some friends thought they were crazy!
Randy was just completing a Master’s Degree in church growth and ten years later, the results didn’t match expectations (“attendance of 1,000 by the year 2000″). Thinking that he was looking “for something he was good at,” Randy thought he found it in coaching softball and teaching algebra in the local public high school but instead God would used that experience to transform Randy’s life and ministry. God opened the door for Randy to return to TMCC and this time not to grow a church but to grow people and seeing salvation not just as something that occurs when we die but a blessing to live daily as citizens in the Kingdom of God!
Randy returned in a part-time role (while still teaching algebra) in late Fall of 2005 and became full-time again a year later. The dream to build had appeared dead but miraculously came back to life in 2007. Lives are being changed and attendance is booming while efforts are being poured into increasing our capacity to grow people!
A 1990 graduate of Cincinnati Christian Seminary (M.A. Practical Theology) and 1984 graduate of Nebraska Christian College (B.A. Pastoral Ministry) as well as Grinnell (IA) High School in 1979. He previously served for 5½ year as Associate Minister of the Missouri Valley Christian Church. (1984-1989) where he also coached AYSO soccer, freshman boys and girls basketball and started a Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He and Kim were married in 1984.
Philip Engle, Associate Pastor
Philip grew up in TMCC, having attended since the age of three. His ministry began in 2006 when he mentored a group of boys over his Summer break from college. In 2007, he served as TMCC’s first Summer Intern before coming onboard full-time in 2008 following graduation.
Philip was hired because of his passion for the Word of God and the results have been a youth ministry of kids and adult leaders who have caught that passion for serving God and making an eternal difference in the lives they touch! We have been blessed to watch him grow and develop right before our eyes as a gifted, passionate teacher!
Philip earned a Master of Education from the University of Arizona South in 2010, a B.A. in Bible from Clearwater Christian College in 2008. He is a 2004 graduate of Buena High School. Philip married the former Angela Plumb of Sierra Vista on December 20, 2008.
