MEET OUR PASTOR

Pastor TJ Caldwell

Pastor TJ Caldwell and his wife

Pastor TJ Caldwell has a heart for people, a passion for God’s Word, and a desire to see lives transformed through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

A native of Sapulpa, Oklahoma, TJ holds a bachelor’s degree in religion with an emphasis in Christian counseling and a Master of Theological Studies from Liberty University.

His heart for ministry reaches beyond the local church. Through international missions, TJ preaches and trains pastors in West Africa. He also serves on the board of Place of Refuge Global, an organization dedicated to caring for vulnerable children in Côte d’Ivoire.

TJ and his wife have been married for over 21 years and are blessed with five children.

One of TJ’s greatest joys is serving the people of Provide Church. He describes them as a loving church family, eager to share God’s love with everyone they meet. He considers it a privilege to pastor a church that puts its love for people into action.

His desire is for Provide Church to be a place where everyone feels welcome, God’s Word is faithfully taught, lives are transformed by the gospel, and every believer discovers purpose in serving Christ and others.
