Timothy Galligan

After growing up in California, Hong Kong, New Jersey, and Kansas, Tim graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and a bachelor’s degree in Cognitive Science from the University of California, San Diego. He then worked for a bit in the Silicon Valley before crossing the continent once again to complete his Master of Divinity at Princeton Theological Seminary. Tim began his pastoral ministry in Houston, at Clear Lake Presbyterian Church as Associate Pastor of Outreach and Evangelism. During his three years there he preached regularly and helped the church transition between senior pastors. In 2008 he became an associate pastor at First Presbyterian Church, San Antonio where he taught extensively as he worked with their Discipleship Ministries. While there, he met and married his wife Chalie (a native Texan and fellow engineer). In 2010 they made the move back to Houston, where Tim completed a Master of Business Administration at the University of Houston. In early 2012, Tim accepted God’s call to pastor Trinity Presbyterian Church of Southlake where his contagiously energetic style of ministry continues today. Tim, Chalie, their daughter Emily (1) and trusty dog Duke enjoy camping, movies, sports, eating guacamole and spending time with friends and family.
