Tim Dillard – Non-Denominational
Tim Dillard is called to grow things and grow people.
With over 20 years in the advertising and marketing business,
he’s the first to admit he’s never seen anything as
amazing as the growth of Lakewood Church during his two plus years
as the Director of Ministry Development. He has been the subject
of numerous local, regional and national news stories and some
of his techniques have been the subject of study at American universities
such as Texas A&M and Oklahoma State. He has spoken to numerous
organizations on Brand Development including the National Collegiate
Athletics Association National Convention. “Lakewood Church
is the standard. I am called to take the menu of principles I
saw at work at Lakewood and offer them to churches all over the
United States. What makes Lakewood Church tick is a multi-ethnic
membership charged with God’s unconditional love. It’s
impossible to describe what’s happened there and how much
it has meant to my life,” Dillard stated. Mr. Dillard was
saved at Lakewood in 1981 and gave up a secular job with a large,
growing marketing company in Houston to spend two years at Lakewood
working on special projects. He is married and has three children.
His religious affiliation is that he was brought up Episcopalian,
became an agnostic, married a Catholic and ended up a non-affiliated
Charismatic.
Kim Dillard – Non-Denominational
Kim and Tim have been married for over 6 years. She is
a graduate of ALCC School of Ministry and is an excellent teacher
for women. She has been active in her church for more than 12
years and is a great woman of God. She has been instrumental in
the start up of the new Lakewood Women’s Ministry.
Matt Schulte - Methodist
Matt Schulte gets things done no matter what the obstacles
in his way. And he does so while maintaining a calm, cool exterior
that faintly masks his bulldoggish determination to bring every
project in on time and under budget. Matt has one of the most
impressive backgrounds any church could ever draw upon. He was
one of the top promoters in the country handling national acts
such as the Rolling Stones, Sting and the Spice Girls. He personally
produced over 500 concerts a year which makes him a leading expert
as far as the American church is concerned. Why? Because Matt
has forgotten more about image mag, lighting and sound and the
perspective of the audience than most people will ever know. He
gave his heart to the Lord at a 1999 Newsboys concert which he
had produced and attracted over 33,000 people to Houston’s
Astrodome. At the time, the concert was the single largest crowd
for a single band Christian music event in the United States.
Matt has since taken over the contemporary service at his church.
He is a masterful guitar player and accomplished music producer.
Mr. Schulte is married and has two young sons.
