Tim Goodyear
Senior Pastor
Tim loves helping others understand the truth of the Bible as they grow and live out their faith. Originally from Michigan (Go Blue!), he and his wife Laura moved to Phoenix in 2011. They have two young adult sons, one in Phoenix and one in Houston, and a labradoodle named Blue (...of course). They love time together as a family, good food with friends, traveling when they can, and anything ice cream!
After joining Valley View as our discipleship pastor in May of 2019, Tim became our executive pastor in September of 2023, and was called to be our senior pastor in February of 2025. In addition to his time at Valley View, Tim served four years at a large multi-site church in Dallas, five years at another church in Phoenix, and seventeen years with a ministry organization that provides discipleship and family ministry resources and training for churches. Tim has a bachelor’s and master’s degree in engineering and spent 18 years working as an engineer before being called to full-time ministry. He has a master of theology degree from Dallas Seminary and has taught as an adjunct professor at GCU’s school of theology.
