The Reverend Tim Kutzmark is a graduate of the Divinity School at Harvard University, where he received the prestigious Hopkins Shareholder Award for academic and ministerial accomplishment. He previously served congregations in Virginia and Massachusetts, where he had a special emphasis on ministry to those with no church affiliation who were looking for a welcoming spiritual home. 

Passionate about social justice, Tim has been involved in supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, policing reform, Climate Change action, immigration reform, gun control, LGBTQ+ rights, living wage, death with dignity, and other progressive stands. He is a member of the Planned Parenthood Clergy Advocacy Board, which leads a national effort to increase public awareness of the moral basis for advocating for reproductive health, including safe and easy access to abortion. He is also a proud supporter of ACE, (The Association of Clovis Educators) and their efforts to unionize Clovis Unified School District educators. 

Tim was a recipient of a 2020 “Way of Peace” Award from the Fresno Center for Nonviolence for his work coordinating a series of Friday night vigils for “Allies of the Black Lives Matter Movement” in the wake of the murder of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and so many other unarmed black citizens killed by law enforcement. He is a certified instructor of Kundalini Yoga, teaches several different forms of meditation and spiritual practice, and leads spiritual reflection groups and retreats. 

A world traveler, Tim has spent time in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uganda, Rwanda, and South Africa.
