Meet Embassy City Church
Embassy City Church is passionate about spreading the message of Jesus Christ to Irving, Texas, and surrounding areas. The church encourages its community to come, grow, and go as an approach to building relationships with God and serving around the world. Embassy first contacted us while considering a succession plan for their founding senior pastor, Tim Ross. They desired to have a successful succession plan and transition of leadership.
Tim Ross began preaching at 20 years old and has impacted the lives of thousands of people since. Under the leadership of Tim and his wife, Juliette, Embassy has experienced exponential growth of over 3,000 in-person members and thousands online. Tim knew his season as a lead pastor was coming to an end. Luckily, he had prepared his team to take the reins.
The two Tim’s
Tim Rivers has been called to become Tim Ross’ successor with Tim and Juliette remaining at Embassy as members and advisors, focusing their energy on their other ministries including conferences, podcasts, marriage ministry, and books.
Tim Rivers went into full-time ministry at the age of 18, holds a master’s degree in theology from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and is currently pursuing a doctorate degree with a focus on church revitalization. Rivers looks forward to continuing the “Kingdom Culture” that Ross has laid over the years and plans for Embassy to remain a pillar in the community.
Over the past year, Tim Rivers has been a guest preacher at Embassy several times making him no stranger to the congregation. He has also been mentored over the last three years by Ross, making him a perfect and prepared candidate to succeed Ross in this role.
Tim takes the reins
Tim, his wife Janese, and their three children are excited about the transition to Embassy City in Fort Worth. The Rivers family is passionate about mission work and cultivating communities to advance the Kingdom. We are excited to see all that the Rivers’ bring to their new church home.
