Joy from Pain
When I was a little girl, age 5, my mother had an abortion. There were medical reasons, but the effects of that decision were life-long for her and for my father as well as for myself and likely my other siblings.
If you’ve been around the Care Net Peninsula office over the past few months, there’s a good chance you’ve already seen Tim Marr quietly (but efficiently!) making things run behind the scenes. While he’s been with us for 8 months now, we figured it was time for a proper introduction.
Tim serves as our Director of Operations, overseeing everything from finances and HR to building logistics and general support for our team. If something needs fixing, streamlining, organizing, or evaluating, Tim’s likely already on it.
A Hampton native, Tim brings both local roots and a wealth of ministry experience to the team. He spent 20 years pastoring churches across North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, and West Virginia before returning to Virginia in 2021. Most recently, he served as a General Manager in the restaurant industry. But when a Care Net Peninsula email hit his inbox announcing the Director of Operations opening, something stirred – and, as Tim puts it, “the rest is history.”
Tim holds a BS in Business Administration from Old Dominion University and a Master of Divinity from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He’s also an elder at Reformation Christian Fellowship and has a heart deeply rooted in gospel-centered service.
When he’s not at the office, Tim is husband to Katie (married 28 years!) and dad to four wonderful children – Kylie, Carson, Kara, and Colton.
We’re so thankful for all that Tim brings to Care Net Peninsula. If you haven’t met him yet, we hope you’ll take the time to say hello – he’s usually the one making sure everything (and everyone!) has what they need to thrive.

You believe in life. It’s sacred. It’s undeniably alive. So you protect it. You speak up, you give money to Care Net Peninsula, and you pray that pregnant women won’t default to abortion. And that is what happens – women do choose life.
Too often in our culture, narratives don’t reflect reality. This is true on both sides of the political aisle and within all our different subcultures. Sometimes the lies don’t matter much – “Wow, Santa came and ate all those cookies! — Definitely NOT Dad!!” Other times, lives are at stake. If I’ve learned anything in my time at Care Net, it’s that the abortion industry lies, and then lies about lying.
You may have heard about a very important case being heard by the Supreme Court this Wednesday, Dec. 1st – the case of Dobbs vs Jackson Women’s Health.
