More than five hundred witnesses stood before the risen Christ, yet Thomas remained trapped in the shadows of what he could not see. We are told Jesus is alive and personally present, but how do we reconcile a visible Savior with our invisible reality? We praise God for the gift of faith, yet many of us still wrestle with the silence of an unseen Lord. If He is truly standing here among us, what is He saying to your specific doubt? Join us as we bridge the gap between sight and belief to discover what Jesus has to say.

Because Christ has fully forgiven us through His cross and resurrection, we are freed—and called—to practice forgiveness as a way of life. Forgiveness does not deny sin or pain; it confronts sin with grace, truth, and resurrection of hope. |

You may have noticed some new images and refreshed visuals appearing on our website, Facebook page, Timothy Connects, and various documents—and yes, it’s intentional! Timothy Lutheran Church and School has officially rebranded.
This rebranding reflects who we are today while continuing to honor our purpose and Christ‑centered foundation. Our updated look helps us communicate more clearly and consistently while supporting our mission of Transforming Lives Through Christ.
We invite you to take a moment to explore and enjoy the new images and branding as you encounter them across our platforms. While the visuals are new, our heart, values, and commitment to sharing God’s love remain the same.
Thank you for growing with us as we continue Transforming Lives Through Christ at Timothy Lutheran Church and School. |

“I, like many of you, participated in Pastor Ryan's "Wrestling with the Word" workshops. There were two of them. I read my Bible about 6 days a week. I'm not fast but I've been through it once and about three-fourths the way a second time. I also have a study Bible which is hugely helpful with understanding. Nothing prepared me for the depth and knowledge I would gain from the S-O-A-P study method taught by Pastor Ryan! Also, the excitement of learning in a new and deeper way. It was challenging at first as getting started often is. The word God put on my heart for 2026 is "Serve." I used that to get started and plan to continue. It's a little different than just picking a verse. I am learning what the Bible has to say about Serving and so much more! Thank you Pastor Ryan! And for those of you who haven't started, JUST DO IT! Your reward will be so much more than you could ever imagine.” From Shanna Hanson. |

As we look ahead to the coming school year, Timothy Lutheran School will have three School Board member terms concluding in May. In preparation, we are seeking three new individuals who are willing to prayerfully serve our school community by joining the Timothy Lutheran School Board. Serving on the School Board is a meaningful way to support the mission and ministry of Timothy Lutheran School. Board members help guide long‑term vision, provide faithful leadership, and partner with administration to ensure Timothy remains a Christ‑centered place of academic excellence. We encourage anyone with a heart for Christian education, a desire to serve, or an interest in leadership to consider this opportunity. Experience in education, finance, leadership, or strategic planning is a gift—but most important is a willingness to serve and support Timothy Lutheran School.
If you would like more information or would like to explore what serving on the School Board involves, please email: TLS_schoolboard@timothylutheran.com
Please keep the School Board and this selection process in your prayers as we seek God’s guidance for the future of Timothy Lutheran School. |
