Why Timberlake? 

Timberlake Ministries is a Christian camp and retreat center serving churches and other organizations since 2007. They are located in Millport, AL about 30 minutes on the other side of Columbus, MS.

We are so excited for our very own NSKids camp at Timberlake this year! We’ll have the opportunity lead our NSKids to know and follow Jesus in worship, small group bible study, and other daily activities. They will also have so much fun in all the activities provided including the zip line course, swimming, rec, and more.

A camp information meeting for registered campers and parents will be held closer to time. Keep an eye on your email for additional communication. 

Leading kids to know, love, and follow Jesus on their level.

NSKids

In NSKids we are leading kids to know, love, and follow Jesus on their level and helping kids love church. We aim to provide a safe environment for children to receive well-rounded discipleship from birth - 6th grade, while walking alongside parents as they grow and live into being their child's spiritual leader.

  • Preschool (birth to PreK)

    We seek to provide a safe and nurturing environment for babies to experience the love of God and feel a sense of belonging in our church family. We introduce preschoolers to the basic concepts of God, Jesus, the Bible, church, and others while building strong biblical foundations for spiritual transformation through fun and age appropriate activities, games, crafts, songs, and hands-on Bible lessons.

  • Elementary (Kindergarten to 4th Grade)

    For children in Kindergarten through 4th Grade, we continue to build strong biblical foundations through small groups, large groups, and the Missions Market. Small groups are divided by grade level to help kids establish relationships with their peers and make deeper connections with scripture through conversation, application, games, and activities. Large groups provide kids with an energizing time of worship, story telling, and Bible teaching. The Missions Market gives kids the opportunity to be involved in local, national, and global missions while they develop spiritual disciplines.

  • Fusion (5th & 6th Grade)

    5th and 6th grade is an exciting time of transition as a child begins to seek spiritual answers. Through small groups and a large group gathering time, we hope to help kids find their answers in Jesus Christ. Small groups in Fusion focus on growing relationships and applying Scripture to their daily lives. Large group in Fusion consists of interactive worship, Bible teaching, and games. Fusion is offered during the 10:50 service at Saltillo & the 10am service at Tupelo.

  • Special Needs

    We believe that God desires the praise of all of His children. Our trained volunteers are prepared to offer a self-contained classroom or be a buddy for children who learn better under those circumstances. We welcome all children and desire to create the best environment possible to help them learn about Jesus.

    Our self-contained classroom is available at the 10:50 service at the Saltillo Campus.
