We believe that the mission of God is best done together and not left up to one group or generation in the church. Emerywood provides financial and volunteer support to many agencies throughout High Point, Guilford County, and around the world. Our missional efforts are divided into 5 categories.

Prior to his current role as Senior Minister at Emerywood Baptist Church, Timothy served churches in Michigan, Connecticut, and Texas. When he's not chasing around his horse-size dog, Frankie, you can find him searching for the best pie with his wife Valerie Lott.

We get a fresh vision of our identity as children of God and are inspired to live out the love and grace we've received. At Emerywood, we each bring our own unique spiritual gifts to worship, striving together to find our voices in a way that is natural and true to our instincts in reaching for and seeking God. Worship includes an intentional mix of clergy and laity, male and female, young and old. This intentional mixture demonstrates weekly the common ground on which we approach the task of worship.

Sundays look a bit different for the Student ministry at Emerywood. We realize that Sunday morning may not be the best time for you to mentally wrestle with the tough conversations of scriptures sometimes, so the students have small groups that meet throughout the week. Each small group is divided by faith stage rather than grade and on Sunday Mornings we gather around the table to enjoy coffee and breakfast together as we discuss and do life together.
