The ministers of the Church are lay persons, bishops, priests and deacons.
The ministry of lay persons is to represent Christ and his Church; to bear witness to him wherever they may be; and, according to the gifts given to them, to carry on Christ’s work of reconciliation in the world; and to take their place in the life, worship, and governance of the Church.
~The Book of Common Prayer, Catechism
The Ministries at St. Timothy's Episcopal Church are all about service. Some ministries reach out and directly serve those in our parish, in our community and around the world in need. While other ministries are more indirect and serve as a means to enable additional ministries.
