MINISTRIES
and SMALL GROUPS
YOU are Called to
be God's Mission in Motion!
Everyone
needs a place to experience community. A healthy church
provides vibrant,
joyful,
inspiring worship, and quality personal care. Small groups
are the place where
that
closeness is developed, where face to face nurture and care
takes place.
St. Timothy
Lutheran Church offers a vast array of small groups,
including
Bible Study
groups, musical groups, ministry teams focused on serving,
need-oriented support groups,
as well as
groups which meet primarily for fellowship.
Imagine the
adventure of growing in ministry if every person at St.
Timothy experienced
the
community, compassion,
and
encouragement of belonging to a small caring group!
And then
imagine what could happen if every small group in our church
were to reach out together,
demonstrating
their love in acts of caring service! That is the dream God
has placed on our hearts.
St. Timothy has many opportunities to reach out to the
Community
and to
our
Congregation
with
Ministries and Small Groups.

thank and appreciate all of our dedicated servants and encourage
everyone
