Growing Together at St. Timothy’s
Small groups are one of the best ways to get connected at St. Timothy’s. They create space to build real relationships, share life together, and grow in faith in a more personal setting.
We have a variety of ongoing groups focused on prayer, music, knitting, men’s and women’s gatherings, service, and fellowship. There’s something for just about everyone! If you’re interested in learning more or finding a group that fits, reach out to the church office.
Daughters of the King
The mission of the Daughters of the King is the extension of Christ’s kingdom through prayer, service and evangelism.

Knitting Group
The Knitting Group began with three interested women who gathered to provide a teaching/learning opportunity to knit. Today this group meets together not only for knitting, crocheting, needlepoint, quilting, and cross-stitching but also for sharing, supporting, talking, laughter and an occasional field trip. If you do not have a hand craft, we also fold church bulletins! All adults are welcome to join in or simply visit.
We welcome suggestions for charitable projects. We are currently involved in a joint ministry for East Carolina Knitted Knockers, under the leadership and direction of Carol Taylor and associated with the national Knitted Knockers organization, www.knittedknockers.org
We knit or crochet special, soft, lightweight breast prosthetics that are designed for women who have undergone mastectomies. Find us on Facebook and contact us on Messenger at’m.me/eastcarolinaknockers’.
