About Us

Our Story

Saint Timothy's held its first worship service on Sunday, December 4, 1994. A core group of about 20 people, most of them from Christ United Methodist Church in Greensboro, spent months planning, dreaming and praying for the birth of a new church in one of the most rapidly growing areas in the Triad. Since then we have grown in numbers, in spiritual depth, and in our outreach to those in need.

Our Mission

To expand our circle of Christian disciples, provide opportunities for growth in personal faith, nurture a shared ministry where all are welcomed in safety and love, and answer God's call to servanthood in the world.

Our Ministry

Discipleship
At Saint Timothy's we believe that the Christian life is a journey, a pilgrimage shared by Jesus and his followers. We believe that we are called to make disciples by welcoming others, just as they are, to join us on this exciting journey.

Spiritual Formation
We recognize that each of us is in a different place along our spiritual journey. Therefore, Saint Timothy's is committed to offering a variety of challenging, inspirational and meaningful opportunities for growth in personal faith through:

- Worship
- Holy Communion (celebrated the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month)
- Encouraging a life of prayer and study
- Comprehensive Sunday School program for all ages
- Monthly older children's fellowship
- Annual Vacation Bible School
- Confirmation Classes
- Youth Ministry
- ChristCare small group ministry
- Sacrament Education for Children and Adults
- Disciple Bible Study
- Spiritual Life Retreats
- Fellowship Meals

Caring for One Another

We recognize that life can be both very rewarding and also quite challenging. As such we are committed to providing a community where those who are hurting can find comfort and strength in their time of need. Through programs like Stephen Ministry we are committed to sharing God's love with all who are in need.

Servanthood

Saint Timothy's is committed to being a servant church. From the beginning, our members have been involved in activities such Habitat for Humanity, Dining for Friends, CROP Walk for Hunger, Society of Saint Andrew Hunger Projects, Canned Food Drives for Greensboro Urban Ministry, serving meals at Potter's House Soup Kitchen, and the Winter Walk for AIDS. Members volunteered to prepare meals and cover the reception desk at Beacon Place, a local residential hospice facility. Our youth have traveled to mission projects in Wilmington and Arizona, and members have taken two building team trips to Bolivia.

One Great Day of Serving
We set aside this day to devote to serving our community in a variety of ways, including visiting residents of a local nursing home leading them in singing, collecting canned goods for the downtown emergency food bank, and preparing and serving a meal for Urban Ministry.

Lunch at Urban Ministry
It takes willing hands to prepare and serve lunch at Potter’s House where approximately 350-400 hungry people are served a free, hot, nourishing meal every day. Volunteers cook the meal and clean up. We encourage families to participate in this service. Kids (ages 7 to teenage) are a great help in serving meals to these guests. Our church has committed to serve the fifth Sunday of the month. Individuals may participate more often as needed.

Gleaning
In cooperation with the Society of Saint Andrew, our members participate in potato drops and gleaning projects, such as picking blueberries or other crops that would lie wasted in the field if not harvested and passed on to organizations and individuals in need of food.

Refugee Assistance
Our church has sponsored a new start for a family from Cuba by helping provide living space, spiritual support, language training, employment help, guidance through complicated government processes, and many other services to help them overcome obstacles to beginning a new life in a new culture.

Brownie Scouts
Our Bridford House provides meeting space for a fine troop of Brownie Scouts.

Emergency Assistance
By contributing to our pastor’s discretionary fund, members give money to make possible one-time assistance people in crisis situations. Our pastor also works with social workers to identify the best resources for larger needs.

Other Opportunities for Servanthood...

There are many ongoing opportunities to serve our fellow human beings at St. Timothy's. Many others occur as needed during the year and will be posted in the newsletter.
