Dr. Robert E. Mooty
Pastor

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 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 more nurturing
environment (Family Group) that fills the needs of
the church, but also serves as an extended church
family for spiritual growth. See the Family Group
section for more information. The Family Groups, their
Elders and Co-Leaders are listed at the bottom of
this page.
TCC
is also a firm believer in mission work in and around
the community in which we are located. At any given
time, you may easily spot one of our members taking
part in some mission program throughout the Lynchburg
area.

Family
Groups
|
| Our
congregation is currently divided into six Family
Groups. The Family Groups have each adopted names
for themselves such as "The Lord's Rangers."
Each group is led by one or two Elders and two Co-Leaders.
The groups meet every other month for fellowship,
spiritual growth, and planning to carry out their
responsibilities within and beyond the church. Once
a quarter all family groups come together for fellowship
and spiritual growth at our congregational meetings.
The schedules for these can be found in the Schedules
section. The Family Group information is located
at the bottom of this page. |

Timberlake
Christian is located on five acres directly on US 460
west. The upstairs portion of the building closest to
the road is the gathering area, the first room one enters
coming in the main entrance, and the fellowship hall,
home to Celebration Worship, youth suppers, and many other
events. The main kitchen and two bathrooms are off of
the fellowship hall. The sanctuary, seating app. 180,
completes the upstairs, and is located to the left as
one enters the gathering area.
Downstairs closest to the road is the Sunday School wing.
This area can be accessed by stairs from just outside
the sanctuary, a hallway from the downstairs main parking
lot entrance, or directly from the parking area in back
of the building. There are five classrooms and two nurseries.
Underneath the sanctuary is a hallway containing the church
library, Pastor's office and choir room on one side, and
the children's library, Youth Director's office and Secretary's
office on the other.
Outside on the back part of the property there is a soccer
field, heavily used by the Campbell County Recreation
Dept. and a softball field. Nearby is a picnic shelter,
swingset and beach volleyball court. |
