WHO WE ARE
St. Timothy Catholic Church is a community parish in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix. Founded in 1978 under the leadership of pastor Fr. Ron Simon. Since that time, we have grown into vibrant community focused on prayer, discipleship, and evangelization. For over 40 years, St. Timothy's has been a spiritual home for many individuals and families, a place where people can grow together as Catholic Christians.
WHAT WE'RE ABOUTOur primary goal at St. Timothy Catholic Church is to help all people enter into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. This objective is at the heart of all that we do: seeking to provide opportunities for people to encounter the Lord in new and deeper ways, to learn how to follow Jesus faithfully and fruitfully, and to continue to grow in their ability to think and act according to the Gospel.
We believe that God, “infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life” (CCC 1). However, we recognize that through the misuse of our freedom, sin has broken and disfigured our world, and led to the rupture of our relationships with God, each other, and all creation. Things are not as they ought to be… but, “after the fall, man was not abandoned by God. On the contrary, God calls him and in a mysterious way heralds the coming victory over evil and his restoration from his fall” (CCC 410).
This plan of salvation and restoration culminates in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ – through whom “God has reconciled the world to himself” – and is continued in the life of the Church, which has been “entrusted with the message and ministry of reconciliation” (see 2 Cor 5:17-20). Our salvation, therefore, is not merely an escape from hell and a promise of heaven (although it certainly includes this), but a healing and restoration of all this sin has broken and disfigured; it is “salvation for all people and of the whole person” (Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, 38).
As a parish community, we are committed to building a community of personal and communal prayer, providing opportunities to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ, and helping you grow in your ability to extend God’s love and goodness in our local community.
God has chosen to make us his co-workers in healing and restoring a broken world, in making all things new and reconciling the world to himself. This is our core purpose, this is why we exists… to be God’s instrument of restoration in the salvation of the world.
