Tim, Kristen, and Jeff have shared decades of friendship and ministry together for nearly forty years. United by their love for Christ, they seek to communicate the message of God’s faithful love through music and the spoken Word. Their ministry highlights individuals from Scripture who experienced God’s presence and faithfulness through difficult seasons of life.
Kristen Fichthorn and her husband, Greg, have three children and serve in ministry at Christ Community Fellowship in Sarver, Pennsylvania. Her father, Tim Allshouse, also serves there. Tim and his wife, Susan, reside in Freeport, Pennsylvania, and have two adult children and six grandchildren. Tim recently retired after 45 years with Du-co Ceramics.

Innovation in Ministry
What does it look like to embrace innovation in ministry and pursue new ways to reach your community?
Join us Tuesday, September 15, from 10–11 a.m. for a special Official Workers Webinar featuring Josh Grimes of Common Place Church.
Josh and his wife, Sarah, began Common Place Church in 2009 as a re-launch of Lock Haven Alliance Church—with a new vision and a church born in a coffee shop. Today, they continue investing in their community through Common Place Church and as local business owners.
Come hear Josh share about innovation, ministry, and following God’s leading into something new.
