Taryn Timko (they/them)
Director for Children, Youth and Families
I'm Taryn Timko, and here are a few fun tidbits about me: I'm a huge fan of Studio Ghibli anime films; there's something magical about their storytelling that always captivates me. My favorite color? Green, hands down – it's just so vibrant and full of life! And if you ever catch me outside of church, chances are I'm either watching anime, playing DnD, experimenting with a new baking recipe, or all three! Can't wait to share laughs, lessons, and maybe even a few homemade treats with all of you. Let's make some unforgettable memories together on this adventure of faith!"
