Hello, 

My name is Tim Merki and my family and I have been serving at Sonoma Baptist Church since June of 2017.  I have pastored churches in Texas, North Carolina, Maryland, and now in Nevada.  My wife Heidi and I were married in June of 2003 and have three boys, Ben, Jos, and Whit.  Even though my family and I are not native Nevadans, we really love it here in Northern Nevada.  If God so wills it we hope to finish out ministry here. We continue to look forward to what God has in store for us and the people of Sonoma Baptist Church.  

Phil has been serving as a Deacon of Sonoma Baptist Church since 2022.  Phil and his wife Linda are passionate about serving Jesus with the saints at Sonoma Baptist Church.
