Offering Help
Here our commitment to being a caring church takes tangible form. Rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and driven by a deep sense of compassion, our helping ministries are a testament to our belief that faith without action is incomplete.
"The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.' " Matthew 25:40
Reaching out to those in need is an integral part of the congregational life at St. Timothy. Creating an awareness and sharing our gifts, talents and resources with those who are vulnerable, hungry, lonely, homeless, sick or living in poverty is integrated into many of our ministries. We focus both on those in need in our own community as well as helping others around the world.
"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen."
1 Peter 4:10-11
