Tim Stohlberg has ministered at Hilltop since September, 1999. Prior to coming to Cromwell, he served the Evangelical Covenant Church of New Sweden, Maine.

Ordained by the Evangelical Covenant Church in 1996, Pastor Tim is a 1994 graduate of North Park Theological Seminary. In addition to North Park, he also did course work at Yale Divinity School and Luther Seminary. Prior to seminary, he worked at Klingberg Family Center, New Britain, CT. and in the hangars for Northwest Airlines, where he has the distinction of falling out of the nose gear of a DC -10.

Passionate about biblical preaching, Pastor Tim believes that his calling as a preacher and teacher is to help people experience ancient text as living Word, with the power to bring hope and transformation to people individually and corporately. He does this through faithful, imaginative engagement with a text. While he is traditional, he finds within the tradition the freedom to be spontaneous and even from time- to - time a bit goofy. In his time at Hilltop Pastor Tim has also helped the church take steps toward becoming more environmentally aware. These steps include organizing cleaning days along the Connecticut River, the use of more “green” cleaning products and changing out the church’s antiquated light fixtures for more energy efficient ones. These efforts resulted in the church receiving a 2006 Green Circle Award from the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. 

Along with his wife Marcia, he has four (4) great children and an equally great dog. For fun he watches sports, hikes, picks apples with his wife, snowshoes and loves to spend time in and on the water. Now all he needs to make life perfect is a tractor and four-wheel drive pickup!
