Our staff

Tim Kroeker

Lead Pastor

Tim came to serve at PassageWay after more than two decades planting churches cross-culturally in Italy, most recently on the island of Sicily. Out on the mission field, Tim developed a passion for team-based ministry, so he enjoys facilitating PassageWay staff and collaborating with lay leadership. Tim holds a Masters of Divinity degree from Moody Theological Seminary and is committed to the effective communication of God’s Word.

In his free time, Tim likes to listen to podcasts and read. He's also an avid baseball fan, especially of the St. Louis Cardinals.

Tim is married to Amee who he met while at college in Omaha. Amee is an elementary teacher at a local Christian school. They have four adult children (two of whom are married) and one grandchild. Tim and Amee enjoy jogging together and drinking cappuccino. They also like exploring hiking trails and playing board games.

When you visit PassageWay Church you’ll find Tim in the foyer after the service. He’d love to meet you.

Curtis Isaacson

Worship Pastor/Elder

Curtis Isaacson serves as Worship & Associate Pastor. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in instrumental & vocal education and worked as a choral conductor for 9 years before entering ministry vocationally in 2011. He’s currently pursuing graduate coursework in Biblical and Theological Studies at Trinity Theological Divinity School. Curtis enjoys pairing today's latest technology with unique and often homemade instruments within the worship experience, many of which reflect the way God remakes & uses us in surprising ways that defy who we were, for His glory.

In his free time, Curtis serves as an ambassador for a Swedish axe company and enjoys restoring vintage axes, winter camping, photography, woodworking and crafting his own outdoor gear.

Pastor Curt has been married since 2002 to his wife Megan, who teaches secondary art and Spanish at Omaha Christian Academy. She also serves PassageWay in women’s ministry and the media arts. They have two teens who also regularly contribute to the worship experience at PassageWay. Together, they love to create, drink good coffee, enjoy good food, watch movies and visit three of their favorite places: Lauritzen Gardens in Omaha, Lied Lodge in Nebraska City and the white sand beaches of Siesta Key, FL.
