Roots to Fruit

Honoring our Past, Building our Future

Roots to Fruit

Stewardship Campaign

Timberlake Church is growing… in faith, in people numbers, in impact. Over the past years our church leaders have been praying about and discussing how we can accommodate this growth on our campus. We need facility renovations, capital improvements, and new construction. But this is only the first step; now we need your help. We are excited to share with you this opportunity for ministry which will not only meet our current needs, but the needs for generations to come. Our next step is to ask for your prayers and feedback as we imagine what God can do through the ministry of Timberlake Church.

 

We are rooted in tradition.

With a story of much fruit.

Timberlake Church began in 1953 when local residents gathered to plan for a new Methodist church in the Lynchburg community. The first service was held at the Timberlake Tavern, and by October, 58 members officially joined. Over the decades, Timberlake grew rapidly, reflecting its commitment to ministry and service.

 

In 1954, the Hughes family donated the land where the church now stands, and the congregation expanded its facilities several times to meet the growing needs of its members. By 1978, the church launched its Early Learning Center, establishing its dedication to nurturing families.

Entering the 21st century, Timberlake dedicated a new sanctuary, expanded its ministries, and embraced a vision symbolized by “Live the LIGHT,” focusing on worship, growth, and service. Initiatives like "Faith in Action Sunday" and mission work in global and local communities underscored Timberlake's commitment to being the hands and feet of Jesus.

 

Recent years have brought new opportunities for growth and outreach. Timberlake introduced programs like after-school care, summer camps, and The Fillin’ Station food pantry to serve the community. In 2016, Rev. Brad McMullen joined as Lead Pastor, ushering in a new era of leadership while building on Timberlake’s rich traditions.

 

Today, Timberlake Church continues to reach, feed, and release people into the mission of Christ, honoring its deep roots while stepping boldly into the future.

Upcoming Focus Group Meetings

The purpose of these meetings is to present the proposed vision for Timberlake Church and give everyone in our congregation the chance to share thoughts and feedback. Each session will include:

  • A 20-minute presentation of the proposed vision and facility renderings.
  • An opportunity to ask questions and complete a brief but essential feedback questionnaire.

 

We encourage every member of our church family to attend one of the following sessions:
