St. Timothy's Lutheran Church

About this church

St. Timothy's Lutheran Church holds traditional worship at 9 a.m. and contemporary worship at 11 a.m. Sunday at 5100 Camden Avenue in San Jose. The early service uses hymns, organ, and choir, while the later service is led by a praise band. On the second Saturday of the month, Messy Church begins at 4 p.m. with an intentionally casual, intergenerational format. Communion is normally celebrated on the first and third Sundays, and the visitor page explains that the table is open to people who trust Christ's presence in the meal.

Sunday School meets during the 11 a.m. service, making the later gathering the practical choice for households seeking children's classes. St. Timothy's says it will welcome visitors without singling them out, pressuring them to register, or expecting a particular level of familiarity with Lutheran worship. Its beliefs are grounded in Scripture, the historic creeds, the Augsburg Confession, and the Lutheran confessional tradition. The congregation's vision joins worship and growth in faith with service and sharing Jesus locally and globally. Online traditional and contemporary videos are posted after Sunday for people previewing the church or participating from home. A first-time guest can choose 9 for organ and choir or 11 for praise-band music and children's learning, while Messy Church should be confirmed against the monthly calendar.
