Timothy and Ellie Petersen

Timothy Petersen was born and raised in Merritt Island, Florida. He grew up as a missionary kid as his parents, Steve & Gay Petersen, have been serving full time on Teen Missions staff since 1984 & 1995 respectively. Timothy has had the privilege of traveling all over the world while his parents lead teams every summer. As a staff kid he has been to Poland, Australia, China, Malawi, Zambia, and Russia. Then as a team member he traveled to Haiti, Nepal, Fiji and Canada.

Entering into his senior year of high school, Timothy knew it was time to make a decision about what he wanted to do after graduation. He felt called to ministry, but wasn’t sure what specific avenue he wanted to take. After much prayer and checking out various Bible schools and mission agencies, he felt the Lord giving him a peace to attend the Teen Missions Bible school, Sojourner School of Ministry. He enrolled in the Fall of 2020 to begin the three years of academics and training.

He has since finished the program in the Spring of 2023 and is now on staff with Teen Missions. He is currently serving in the US Teams Department, Promotions Department and is also a part of the Firmly Grounded Podcast that is produced by Teen Missions.

In his free time, Timothy enjoys spending time with his family, hanging out and playing games with friends, and playing sports.
