Meet Our Founders

 

 

 

Ty and Jamie Pipkins have been married for 24 years and have 3 college age children. After accepting the call to the ministry at church camp as a teenager, Ty has accumulated over 20 years ministry experience including positions as Pastor, Youth Pastor and Worship Pastor. During this time Jamie assisted in roles as Pastor’s wife, women’s department leader, as well as ministry to young women and foster children. Most recently they spent 7 years on staff at a local church as associate pastors leading worship and overseeing the facilities of a growing church, christian school, and ranch for youth in crisis. Together they have years of experience organizing and leading ministry events, fundraising, speaking to congregations, ministering to couples, and construction of ministry facilities..

So why Choose To Stay? Having personally witnessed the effects of divorce in their families, and having survived storms in their own marriage, Ty and Jamie have developed a passion to see couples overcome the difficulties that attempt to destroy marriage relationships. Focusing on principles obtained from a study in the book of Nehemiah, together they have developed a faith based seminar designed to teach couples to overcome obstacles in their marriage. The only way that will happen is if those couples first Choose To Stay!
