D. Ivan Timm is the Senior Pastor at the East Peoria Free Methodist Church. In 2003 he came back home to this Church where he was saved, called to ministry, and married to his wife Donna in 1975. He graduated from East Peoria Community High School, and then went to colleges in Washington State, and Asbury Theological Seminary in Kentucky. He has over 25 years of experience pastoring Free Methodist Churches in Kentucky, Wisconsin, and Washington.

"Pastor Ike" loves to shepherd the flock, and especially this one that prayed for him when he was a prodigal son. He is excited about the future of the ministry of this Church, excited about new outreach to this community, and excited about the new people coming into God's family at EPFMC.

The Timm family includes one son at Greenville College, three daughters on the West Coast, and one daughter in East Peoris.
