Learn and Grow in Your Faith

When a child aged 1 month to 3 years is welcomed to St. Timothy through baptism or joins St. Timothy from another church, they are enrolled in the Cradle Roll.  The Cradle Roll uses the Splash! program published by Augsburg-Fortress, an education and nurturing program for parents. The Splash! packs cover three age ranges: 1-12 months, 13-24 months, and 25-36 months.  Each month parents will receive a mailing with age-appropriate faith-filled play, worship, meals, and prayer  activities for parents and their children, including helpful parental guidance. We encourage parents to be their child's first Faith Formation teachers as they begin their lifelong faith journey.

Faith Formation Classes are held every Sunday at 9:00 am for Grades 4-8. The class will be following the Spark: Activate Faith curriculum, which connects children with Sunday worship service through the lectionary, explores the salvation story, and introduces participants to 48 Bible stories through art, music, games, and more.

Confirmation, the Lutheran Affirmation of Baptism, is a one-year program for middle school students, and runs from September to May, with Confirmation in May of each year.  Confirmands, led by St. Timothy staff and Pastor, study Luther's Small Catechism and important aspects of Lutheran doctrine and practice.

Affirm is the ELCA’s church camp for teens. For one week, teens and chaperones from the Southeastern Synod congregate on a southern college campus for a deeper look into their faith and what it means in their lives. https://www.sesyouth.org/affirm

Every three years, thousands of high school youth and their adult leaders from across the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America gather for a week of faith formation and fellowship known as the ELCA Youth Gathering. Through inspiring speakers, conversations with partners, Bible study and being immersed in the host city, young people will be inspired, challenged and called to live out their faith in their daily lives. Additionally, young people will have opportunities to explore their vocation and discern where they are being called into this world. In July 2024, the ELCA Youth Gathering, MYLE, the tAble and the Young Adult Gathering will center on the theme of "Created to Be," which comes from Psalm 139.  Watch this video to find out more!
