Tim Dilena (N/A–) is an American Christian preacher, pastor, and author, best known as the senior pastor of Times Square Church in New York City, a position he has held since May 5, 2020. Born in the United States, specific details about his early life and birth date are not widely publicized, though he has a notable family connection to the church’s history—his father, Paul Dilena, was a police captain featured in David Wilkerson’s The Cross and the Switchblade and served as treasurer of the first Teen Challenge. Dilena attended Baylor University, Wayne State University, and Moody Bible Institute, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Corporate Finance, and pursued extended studies in apologetics at Oxford University, England. Dilena’s preaching career spans nearly 40 years, beginning in 1984 when he moved to Detroit at Gary Wilkerson’s request to assist with a church plant. Instead, he stayed to found Revival Tabernacle in a former 900-seat XXX theater, transforming it into a thriving multi-ethnic congregation. He later served as an associate pastor at The Brooklyn Tabernacle under Jim Cymbala (2010–2015) and led Our Savior’s Church in Lafayette, Louisiana, before returning to Times Square Church, where he had been a beloved guest speaker for over 25 years. As the third senior pastor since the church’s 1987 founding by David Wilkerson, succeeding Carter Conlon, he emphasizes passionate, practical preaching on faith, grace, and spiritual growth, with sermons available on SermonAudio and Times Square Church platforms.
