All our services are offered free
of charge, as explained in our financial
policy. Persons interested in any of
these services should e-mail
the director. Here's what we provide:
Adult
Education Support. We provide original, adult courses on
Church History,
the Bible and related subjects. (We also assist with existing local
programs.) Our own courses run from 5 to 48 sessions,
but in some cases can be condensed into a shorter
seminar. Please see the full listing of
the courses we offer.
Leadership
Mentoring. Schedule permitting, the Timothy Ministries staff
provides mentoring to pastors and other spiritual leaders in a
one-on-one or small-group format. These mentoring relationships are
uniquely tailored to each participant.
Iron To
Iron ( I 2 I ). This is a new service in which
churches help churches sharpen one-another’s ministries. Timothy
Ministries is working with area pastors to make this service available
to churches who wish to achieve a new level of corporate fruitfulness.
Missionary
Support. The Timothy Ministries staff will travel, subject
to the discretion of our Board, in order to help missionaries on the
field with short-term teaching, preaching or counseling -- or to
provide personal encouragement to the missionary staff.
Family Support.
As time permits, we spend time with individual families who need help
and encouragement in their spiritual growth. As with all our services,
family support is provided only
with the full consent and under the authority of the family’s own
pastoral staff.
Prayer
For Healing. When called upon, the Timothy Ministries staff
will endeavor to gather local church elders to intercede for the sick
who call for prayer according to James 5.14
. Normally, this service is performed by the sick person’s own church
elders or pastors, but occasionally it is appropriate for additional
spiritual leaders to join with the person’s own
pastors and intercede in concert with them.
