why work with TIMBER BAY?
Teens need healthy connections with safe, Christian adults who care about them
We desire to see kids experience healthy life patterns while sharing what it means to have a faith in Jesus for life, a result of our ministry in creating trust relationships with teens.
Friendship and availability to kids occur by being intentional through regular group activities, weekly one-to-one events, Bible studies, coffee shop chats, white water rafting trips, kayaking on a lake, spending time at camp, or even sitting with kids through a court appointment. Such contexts serve as some examples of where Timber Bay ministry happens!
If combining outdoor adventure with long-term mentoring friendships excites you, we should talk.
