Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord . Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy.
Habakkuk 3:2
Tim Cleary is a pastor, preacher, and writer based in Auckland, New Zealand, dedicated to helping people encounter God’s truth in meaningful and transformative ways. He leads a local church, where his ministry is centered on preaching, teaching, and equipping others to live out their faith with integrity and purpose.
Tim’s journey into ministry began in youth leadership, where he discovered his passion for communicating biblical truth in ways that engage both the heart and the mind. Over the years, he has spoken at conferences, worked in creative media, and helped shape faith-based initiatives designed to reach new generations. His ability to connect with people—whether from the pulpit, around a table, or through the written word—reflects his deep conviction that the gospel is both timeless and relevant to every aspect of life.
Before stepping into full-time pastoral ministry, Tim spent years in creative storytelling, developing projects that brought faith and imagination together. He was the creative force behind The Aetherlight, an award-winning online game that reimagines the Bible in a steampunk fantasy world. That experience sharpened his ability to communicate complex truths through compelling narratives—something he now brings into his preaching and writing.
'Thus says the Lord : Stand in the ways and see, And ask for the old paths, where the good way is, And walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls.
Jeremiah 6:16
Today, Tim’s focus is on shepherding his church, faithfully preaching the Word, and writing to inspire and encourage others in their walk with Christ. Whether through a Sunday sermon, a conversation over coffee, or the pages of a blog, his mission remains the same: to point people to Jesus, to cultivate a faith that is both deep and practical, and to help others live with joy, conviction, and hope.
