Our History
A Place of Faith in the Desert
The history of St. Timothy's is deeply intertwined with the growth of Henderson, Nevada. From its origins in the sun-soaked desert, Henderson transformed into an industrial hub during World War II, shaping the community that would become our vibrant parish.
Since opening its doors in 1946, St. Timothy's has been a lively presence in downtown Henderson. Our services blend traditional practices with heartfelt participation, guided by the Book of Common Prayer, as we come together each week to pray, sing, read scripture, and celebrate the Holy Eucharist.
The Episcopal Church Welcomes You
The Episcopal Church is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion — a tradition of worship that values scripture, reason, and tradition in equal measure.
We welcome all people regardless of background. Our liturgy connects us to centuries of Christian practice while remaining open to the movement of the Spirit in our modern lives.
Our Mission
Where Joy Abounds, Faith Flourishes
"At St. Timothy's, we center our community on Joy, embracing the
harmony between creativity and tradition, worship and service."
Our mission is to provide spiritual nurture and a welcoming space for all who seek it, from those beginning their spiritual journey to seasoned seekers of faith and wisdom. We are dedicated to offering diverse worship and ministerial opportunities that foster growth, service, and a profound sense of community. Through our commitment to Faith, Grace, and Goodness, we aim to enrich lives and bring joy to everyone who joins us.
Our Namesake
Who is Saint Timothy?
"A good life with contentment is itself a great wealth."
St. Timothy was an early Christian evangelist and the first Christian bishop of Ephesus. The Apostle Paul met him during his missionary journey, and Timothy became Paul's companion and missionary partner.
Paul consecrated Timothy as the Bishop of Ephesus in the year 65, and he served 15 years. In the year 97, Timothy tried to stop a pagan procession of idols, ceremonies, and songs, but the angry pagans beat him, dragged him through the streets, and stoned him to death. In the 4th century, his relics were transferred to the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople. His feast day is celebrated on January 26th.
