In the 1960s members of other congregations of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the Lynchburg area saw that the city was moving south into Campbell County. The decision was made to establish a new congregation in the Timberlake area.

Pastor-Developer John W. Johnson founded Timberlake Christian Church in 1968. Originally, the church met in Brookville High School. Land was purchased and in 1973 the first building was constructed. An addition/renovation in 1997 doubled our space and allowed us to host many more community events as well as weddings and receptions. 

Timberlake Christian Church has taken a unique approach to filling positions needed for the efficient operation of our church. Rather than create committees and task forces, we have chosen to develop a "bottom up" system that both fills the needs of the church serves to extend our mission and outreach.  You will find examples and more information under the Programs section of the website.
