"We as the leadership team recognizes the authority of God, and realizes that we are shepherds who serve under the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. We desire to devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word. Our passion and goal is to reach our world for Christ through equipping believers for the work of the ministry until we all attain maturity in the fullness of Christ."
- Leadership at Grace Bible Church
Dr. Tim Goble
Lead Pastor
Pastor Tim was privileged to be raised by Christian parents in northern Indiana. He went on to do his undergraduate work at Biola University receiving a bachelors degree in Business Administration and Bible. After a successful stint in the business world, he sensed God’s call to full time Christian service at a missions conference. For the next ten years God graciously used him to reach many teens for Christ at an independent Bible church in northern Indiana where he also met his dear wife Jane, a graduate of Moody Bible Institute. Ministering to teens included camping ministries and youth mission crusades to South America, while pursuing his graduate degree at Moody Bible Graduate School. In the meantime, God blessed Pastor Tim and Jane with three wonderful boys.
Driven by a passion to reach unchurched families, Pastor Tim accepted the call to a small fellowship in the warm and friendly community of Colville, Washington in 1987. In the midst of parenting and pastoring, he completed his Doctorate in Ministry to further equip him in serving the Lord and others. His visionary passion to “reach the world for Christ” has become the congregation’s purpose, with hundreds coming to Christ since 1987. Many of these changed lives in turn, are reaching their peers for Christ through discipleship.
To accommodate growth in the congregation, God used Tim’s engineering background to orchestrate the design for the original church structure and the expansion 15 years later. Tim’s three boys are now married and serving the Lord as pastors. The Goble family is a testimony to the fact that “when you come to Jesus, He will ask more of you than you originally planned to give, but He always gives you infinitely more than you dared to dream!”

Dr. Daniel Goble
Pastor
Born in Indiana and raised in Colville, Daniel was saved at an early age, but strayed away from God as a young adult and lived through consequences. After returning to the Lord, Daniel attended Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA, where he graduated with a Bachelors degree in Religion. For his undergraduate work, he completed internships at Grace Bible Church and working with the Junior High ministries. In 2009, Daniel returned to Colville to become the full time Youth Pastor. While Daniel has been on staff, he's completed his Masters in Theology, Masters of Divinity, and a doctorate of Education with an emphasis in marital & family issues and addictive behavior. “Many people ask me why I am spending so much time working on school and furthering my education," says Daniel, "I simply tell them that I want to be approved as a workman that does not need to be ashamed accurately handling the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15)." Now Daniel's responsibilities have expanded beyond the youth into more counseling, technical development, and oversight of multiple ministries.
Daniel is first to give the redeeming glory to God as he’s been “brought back to where he needed to be." Reaching our world for Christ is Daniel’s biggest goal and he believes strongly in both evangelism and discipleship. He is also looking forward to expanding a counseling department and potential school here at Grace.
