Pastors & Elders
Tim Reed
Senior Pastor
Birth Place: Lapeer, Michigan
Wife: Jane
Children: Amy, Brittney
Tim had the privilege of being born into a Christian home and has been going to church as long as he can remember. He grew up attending a Bible Church that placed a strong emphasis on memorizing scripture. Through his study of the Word of God he realized his need for a Savior and as a young boy he prayed to receive Jesus as his personal Savior.
Since he was five years old, Tim felt God calling him into pastoral ministry. He developed a love for serving God in his local church and then went on to study for full-time ministry at Moody Bible Institute, Northwestern College and Dallas Theological Seminary. Over the past 40 years he has served the Lord in several churches in a variety of positions. In 2006 Tim felt God calling him to move his family to Florida where he began preparing to plant a new church in East Naples. In January of 2008 Fairway Church began holding services at the local college and he has been the lead pastor ever since.

Patrick was saved in December of 2000, having been raised going to church every Sunday, but never committing his life to Jesus until his early 20s. He immediately started serving in any capacity available in his church. Patrick took Seminary Extension Courses and was mentored by his pastor and in 2004 he was filling the pulpit in local churches and shortly after began his first pastorate.
Patrick and his family have continuously served in their local church and they have been active in the local homeschool community. The Wards have been a part of East Naples since the fall of 2021 and are looking forward to being a part of the future of Fairway Bible Church.
