Grow in Christ

Beginning a relationship with Christ is the most important choice one can make in this life. Growing in that relationship results in confidence and a worldview that shapes actions and beliefs. If you have not yet accepted Christ as your Savior, there is no better time than now to take that step!

Recognize Your Condition

Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” We all stand guilty of sin. We all fall short when compared to God’s example of perfection. Sin is any act contrary to God’s laws and commandments, and those sins that I have committed separate me from God. Sin also has a penalty. Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Because we have all sinned and God is aware of our sin, there is a “wage” or payment we alone are accountable for. This payment is spiritual death, served through an eternal separation from God in a place called Hell.

Religion And Good Works Are Not The Answer

Religions try to create their own ways to God. Their systems may seem logical, but they cannot bridge the gap created by our sin. Proverbs 14:12 says, “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” In other words, our thoughts and ways are not what matters. God’s Word, the Bible, provides true answers of grace and forgiveness. In Ephesians 2:8–9, the Bible says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

Jesus Christ Provides The Way!

Even though we were lost and separated from God, He loved us, and because He is love, God sent His Son to die on the Cross and rise from the dead three days later. John 3:16 explains, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, He became the payment for our sin. Now, we do not have to pay for our sin ourselves. By His grace, salvation is provided. In Romans 5:8, the Bible says, “But God commendeth [meaning proved or demonstrated] his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Believe and Receive Christ

In order to have a relationship with God and an eternal home in Heaven, we must stop trusting ourselves, our works, and our religions and place our complete trust in Jesus Christ alone for the forgiveness of our sin and eternal life. In Romans 10:13, the Bible says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” That is a promise directly from God that if you pray to Him, confess that you are a sinner, ask Him to forgive your sins and turn to Him alone to be your Saviour, He promises to save you and give you the free gift of eternal life. You can make that decision today by praying from your heart something like this:

Dear God, I know I am separated from you because of sin. I confess that in my sin, I cannot save myself. Right now, I turn to you alone to be my Saviour. I ask you to save me from the penalty of my sin, and I trust you to provide eternal life to me. —Amen

You will never regret that decision! If you have just trusted Christ, we would love to know about your decision and help you learn more about that new relationship!

Connecting you with others for Bible study and friendships
Be strengthened and encouraged through a Connection Group. They are a community of believers that genuinely care.

“And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.” – Acts 2:42

Connection Groups

One of the best times to learn about the Bible is when we come together in our Connection Groups, which are broken down so that you can interact with others in your life stage. Our groups meet on Sundays at 9:30 a.m.

Commitment

Teaching you the importance of the Christian life
Be used by God in His church to influence the lives of those around you.

“Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” – Matthew 20:28

Discipleship

A priority for Timberline is to equip all new Christians with the knowledge of what the Christian life is all about. One way we do that is through our discipleship program, where we teach the basics of the Christian life through a one-on-one setting. This in-depth program goes over many of the questions you may have about the Christian life.​

Service

Involving you in the ministry
Be used by God in His church to influence the lives of those around you. One of the best aspects of Timberline is serving others. We wish to see every member find an area they fit in and serve. Meet with a ministry team leader to find your very own place to serve, or go to our “Get Involved” page.

“Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” – Matthew 20:28

Outreach

Reaching our world with the Gospel of Christ
Be a part of bringing the Gospel’s message to others in our community and worldwide. The Bible commands us to share the good news of the Gospel of Christ with the world, but sometimes we don’t know where to start. We want every one of our members to know how to share this amazing news with others! We will have training to help equip you with the tools you need to share your faith. Once a month on Saturday morning at 9:30., we have a prayer breakfast followed by outreach, an opportunity to go and invite others to experience Timberline Baptist Church.

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” – Matthew 28:19
