Timothy Hillman was born on May 30, 1956, in Memphis, Tennessee, to the union of Earnest Hillman, Sr. and Georgia B. Sims Hillman; he was the fifth child born to this union of six children. Both of his parents and three siblings, Lenora Boatner, Rubystein Sarden, and Terry Hillman, preceded him in death. Timothy Hillman was known to family and friends as “Tim.”

Tim accepted Christ as his Savior at an early age at the Temple Church of God in Christ under the leadership of the late Superintendent Joseph E. Booker. Years later, the Lord called Tim into the ministry. He was ordained an Elder under the tutelage of Dr. David Hall, Sr. During the latter years of his life, his membership was with Unity Church of God in Christ under the leadership of the late Superintendent Thomas LaFlora.
