LEADERSHIP
Rev. Dr. Timothy Lipp
Senior Pastor
On behalf of Rosewood First Baptist Church, I want to welcome you to our church website! I’ve only been a part of this great community since 2023, but I think you will agree that the love and support that you receive here is like no other.
I was born and raised in the Raleigh area born at Wake Med in 1978. My dad was a pastor on staff of First Baptist Church, Cary, North Carolina, my home church family. We moved to Apex from Cary when I was 5 years old and I attended Apex schools from Kindergarten through High School. After graduation I attended the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. It was there I got involved in Campus Ministry and serving in local churches through the Baptist Student Union. I answered God’s call on my life to serve as a vocational pastor in college and attended Campbell Divinity School for my theological education receiving 2 degrees: Masters of Divinity in 2004 and Doctorate of Ministry in 2015. I was ordained into the gospel ministry at the First Baptist Church of Fayetteville. I have served churches in North Carolina and Virginia for a total 25+ years of ministry!
I have been married to my wife, Beth Lipp, for over 20 years. She is a Behavioral Therapist and Analyst serving kids on the autistic spectrum. My oldest child, our daughter Sophie, was born in 2009 and attends Rosewood High School where she plays soccer and is on the varsity cheerleading squad. Our youngest child, our son Cohen, was born in 2018. He loves to play and is learning TaeKwonDo. We enjoy trips to Carolina and Wrightsville Beach in the summer and snow skiing in the winter in the mountains of North Carolina or wherever we can find snow!
Come check us out on Sunday morning for Sunday School, and for worship or Wednesday night for dinner and small groups for children, youth and adults or at one of our many programs and events we offer throughout the year!
