Who We Are

Our congregation is a part of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles. We are a growing congregation eager to welcome all who seek a church family. We want to be known as an inclusive and affirmative congregation. This means we at St. Tim's want to include you in our church family. St. Tim's wants to affirm you and your life as an important part of God's wonderful creation.

As Episcopalians, we are members of the Episcopal Church of the United States of America. The Episcopal Church is comprised of about three million worshipers in about 7500 congregations in 100 diocese across the United States. The head of the national Episcopal Church is the Presiding Bishop. Episcopal means "bishop" in Greek, and the Episcopal Church is governed in part by its bishops. The Episcopal Church is a member of the worldwide Anglican Communion, which is comprised of 38 Provinces - or regions - throughout the world. The head of the Anglican Communion is the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Our Mission Statement

Glorifying God through faithfulness in worship, prayer and service in an inclusive community.

 

Parish History

St. Timothy's Episcopal Church or St. Tim's as we call it, was founded in 1954, when 23 local residents met to discuss the formation of an Episcopal mission in Apple Valley. In March 1955, Father Charles Parmeter, formerly the headmaster of an Episcopal school in Hawaii, accepted the call to be our first rector.

 

 

How To Get Involved

Once you have started attending the weekly church services, you may wonder how one gets involved in the many activities that occur at our church. There are many ways to get involved. Here are some suggestions:

1. Attend a Welcoming Dinner and get to know some of the church leaders and other parishoners.

2. Stop by the Vestry Table in the Parish Hall after the Sunday worship services.

3. Join a Covenant Group. If you’ve been feeling that there’s something missing from your faith life or you’ve wanted to move beyond Sunday Christianity into a deeper level of relationship with God, joining a Covenant Group might very well be the missing piece.

4. Speak to the Rector and after voicing what your interests and gifts are, he may suggest what opportunities might best suit you.

5. If you already know what you want to participate in, contact the person who runs that activity. We would love to have you participate in the ministry of our congregation and invite you to get involved!
