Overseer/Children’s Pastors

Tim and Dee Trzil

Tim and Dee Trzil have both the drive and desire from God’s heart to see Carmel Assembly’s children’s ministries impact the kids of our city and change lives for Jesus Christ--in the most effective, energetic way possible. The couple were children’s pastors for 1½ years in Flint, Michigan at what is now called “Ignite Flint” before moving to Seminole, Florida. There, they teamed with children’s ministries at Suncoast Cathedral Assembly of God, working as leaders in reaching large groups of children. God’s awesome timing and power then moved them halfway across the country in October of 2009 to ignite that same fire with Kids Aflame.
