staff spotlight
Tate Engel /// Youth
My name is Tate Engel, and I serve on the Youth Team here at Harris Creek. I grew up in a small town called Kerens; it’s a little over an hour east of Waco, and if you blink you might miss it! I graduated from Baylor University in 2022 and completed my master’s degree in 2024. I have been attending Harris Creek since college and joined the staff in December. This was a big month for me, not only because I stepped into this role, but also because I married my wife, Brooke! I am excited to be part of the Harris Creek Youth Team and to help equip students with biblical truth as they grow into leaders in their schools and communities. More than anything, I look forward to seeing students grow in their faith and discover who God has called them to be!
