The Community Box is how we fund our benevolence giving for people in the community or our church who find themselves in need of a little extra help. Whatever the physical need may be, we respond to benevolence requests through a process that allows us to discern how to wisely help.

The Timothy Initiative exists to advance Christ’s Kingdom by multiplying disciples and disciple making churches around the world. Through TTI’s training, local leaders equip Christians over a two year partnership with the necessary tools, resources, and strategies to reach their nations for Christ. This allows them to stay in the community they are trying to disciple, rather than leave and pay expensive fees to attend Bible school. Church plants meet in homes, on mountaintops, under trees, and in river beds – they don’t focus on building structures, so the process is sustainable, reproducible, and cost-effective.
PRAY for Timothy church planters around the world, and the “Pauls” who are training them
