Christ is the only head. The congregation is overseen by its own elders. - Worship follows the New Testament pattern: singing (a cappella, without instruments), prayer, preaching and Bible study, the Lord's Supper every first day of the week (Sunday), and giving. - Salvation is by God's grace through faith. Those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God, repent, confess Him, and are baptized (immersed) for the forgiveness of sins are added by the Lord to His church. - The church's work is spiritual: evangelism, edification, and benevolence. The congregation does not sponsor social or recreational activities, and it does not fund human institutions (colleges, hospitals, and similar) from the church treasury. - Sermons usually quote the New King James Version (NKJV); the ESV and NIV are sometimes used. ## About - [About Us](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/about-us): Who we are and an invitation to "come and see" - [What We Believe](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/about-us/what-we-believe): Core beliefs with scripture references - [What Kind of Church Is This?](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/about-us/what-kind-of-church-is-this): Organization, worship, becoming a Christian, and how this congregation differs from other churches - [Our Leadership](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/about-us/leadership): Elders, deacons, and preachers - [Men We Support](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/about-us/men-we-support): Evangelists supported by the congregation ## Visiting - [Service Times & Directions](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/visitors/directions-service-times): Schedule, address, and map - [What to Expect](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/visitors/what-you-can-expect): What a first visit is like - [Frequently Asked Questions](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/visitors/frequently-asked-questions): Common questions from visitors - [Contact](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/contact): Phone and contact form ## Bible study - [Articles](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/study/articles): Written Bible lessons and articles - [Bible Classes](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/study/bible-classes): Class schedule and curriculum - [Bible Reading](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/study/bible-reading): Daily Bible reading plan ## Elsewhere - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@TimberlandDrivechurchofChrist): Sermon videos - [Apple Podcasts](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/timberland-drive-church-of-christ/id1305924522): Sermon audio - [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/42Wcf8icavGhPdvWy2gfHS): Sermon audio - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/timberlandchurch/): News and live streams - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/timberlanddrivecoc/) ## Events - [Events](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/events): Gospel meetings and special lessons ## Sermons - [All Sermons](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons): Complete sermon archive; each sermon page includes video, audio, and a full transcript - [Preserving Fellowship: Mountains & Molehills](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/preserving-fellowship-mountains-molehills): September 23, 2026 · Phi 17-19 - [Preserving Fellowship: Restoring Trust](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/preserving-fellowship-restoring-trust): September 22, 2026 · Phi 20 - [Preserving Fellowship: Paul's Perspective](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/preserving-fellowship-pauls-perspective): September 21, 2026 · Phi 1-25 - [Preserving Fellowship: Onesimus' Perspective](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/preserving-fellowship-onesimus-perspective): September 20, 2026 · Mt 5:23-24 - [Preserving Fellowship: Philemon's Perspective](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/preserving-fellowship-philemons-perspective): September 20, 2026 · Col 3:22 - [Preserving Fellowship: Unity & Forgiveness](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/preserving-fellowship-unity-forgiveness): September 20, 2026 · Jn 17:20-23 - [Meal of Meals Pt 2: Manna From Heaven](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/meal-of-meals-pt-2-manna-from-heaven): September 13, 2026 · Ex 16 - [Mary Magdalene](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/mary-magdalene): September 13, 2026 · Lk 8:1-3 - [Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/blasphemy-against-the-holy-spirit): September 6, 2026 · Mt 12:31-32 - [A Holy Temple - The Church](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/a-holy-temple-the-church): September 6, 2026 · Eph 2:20-21 - [Sept 2026 Singing Service](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/sept-2026-singing-service): September 2, 2026 - [Deciding for Christ is a Commitment to Christ](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/deciding-for-christ-is-a-commitment-to-christ): August 30, 2026 · Isa 35:8 - [The Apostolic Gospel](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/the-apostolic-gospel): August 30, 2026 · Acts 2:22-36 - [Saved By Childbearing](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/saved-by-childbearing): August 23, 2026 · 1 Tim 2:15 - [Then To Life I Turn Again](https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/then-to-life-i-turn-again): August 23, 2026 · 1 Cor 11:23
