Tim was born
Nov. 8th, 1951 into the home of Alf and Marg Harden, the youngest
of four children. I was raised by parents who modelled their faith
and set a wonderful example. I loved to sing from an early age and
had opportunities to do so all through my growing years. After a
few teen years of rebellion I really committed my life to the Lord
as a 16 year old and was a founding member of the Watchmen that
same year. I met Jackie 3 years later and we were married in August
of ’72. I have two wonderful sons, Jeff and Jeremy, married
to Eva and Tasha respectively and a total now of 3 grandchildren!
After 23 years of being in the sales and marketing business world
I responded to the call to full time ministry and subsequently pastored
at Sauble Christian Fellowship for 10 fabulous years and am now
excited to be the pastor of the Rosebank Church on the south west
edge of Kitchener.
Jackie was born Jan. 17th, 1951 to Ray and
Mary Hergott of Kitchener. She was raised in a very loving home
and her parents as devout Roman Catholics sent her to St. Mary's
school. After high school Jackie went to visit her Aunt and cousins
in California and in 1969 they took her to a Billy Graham crusade
in the Annaheim Stadium. Here Jackie committed her life to Christ
and when she returned to Canada she actually looked into becoming
a nun because of her upbringing. However, as the Lord would have
it, she met a friend at the University of Waterloo where she worked
and that friend invited her to attend Waterloo Pentecostal Assembly
and a bible study group with her. In September of 1971 she was at
the CNE in Toronto for the Sunday afternoon Gospel Concert, featuring
the Oak Ridge Boys and I was also there with my girl friend of over
one year. When Jackie came to say hi to someone near me, I was struck
by her beauty and the Lord spoke to my heart and said, "That's
your wife!" I was 19 and shocked but found out who she was
and invited her out the following week. Within just a few weeks
I had asked her to marry me and we were married the next August.

life and have run them regularly for nearly 25 years. Some of the
