Since 2004, Tim Stark has gratefully served as an Emmanuel College English department instructor. An ordained minister in the Christian “Restoration Movement,” he holds degrees in biblical literature and Christian education from Ozark Christian College, an M.A. in English from IUPUI and memberships in Sigma Tau Delta, the Conference on Christianity & Literature, and the Academy of American Poets. Active as a professional writer, editor, and manuscript consultant, Mr. Stark develops and facilitates online composition courses for Florida Christian College, is partner/co-owner/managing editor of ministryvault.com, co-hosts "The Vault" podcast, and runs seeds4sermons.com. Related interests include film, photography, graphics, poetry, memoir, journalism, multimedia art, literary theory, and biblical-cultural apologetics. He and his wife, Dr. Deborah Stark (an EC music professor), live happily on a little chunk of Sandy Cross, Georgia—sharing it gladly with family, friends and “nature’s screechers.”
