Water Baptism
Baptism is the first biblical step after Salvation. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, we encourage you to sign up to be water baptized and to invite your friends and family to celebrate with us.
Starting Point
Now that you made it here, where do you go? How do you find out more about Timber Creek Church? The answer is simple: Get started with Starting Point! At Timber Creek Church, we take next steps.

Dream Team

Once you’ve completed Starting Point, you are able to choose which area of ministry you want to serve in. From Timber Creek Kids to Timber Creek Coffee Co, and everything in between the right ministry opportunity is available for you.
Groups
One of our values here at Timber Creek Church is “We won’t do life alone.” There is no greater way to do life together than in the context of groups. Groups are smaller circles of people that gather all around our area any day and any time of the week. Our study groups meet to study a book or topic or discuss the Sunday sermon. There are social groups that get together for a shared interest or activity. We also have support groups that meet to encourage one another in different life issues. But one thing they all have in common is they are all taking next steps in their walk with the Lord.

Encounter
Feeling like something is hindering you from moving forward in your spiritual journey? Encounter is an five-week group that culminates in an Encounter Weekend experience. The goal of Encounter is to equip you to remove the things that hinder you from a deeper relationship with God so that you can walk in the true victory and freedom provided through the work of the cross. The next Encounter session will be Fall of 2024.
