The Timothy Foundation of Poplar Bluff, Missouri is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that exists to develop, maintain, and improve lifelong learning for individuals in the Southeast Missouri Region through the following four pillars:
SEMO Bible Institute: Training lay leaders for ministry in the local church. In partnership with the Evangelical Training Association, the SEMO Bible Institute offers a theologically sound, biblically based entry-level ministry training program. Each student, upon completion of 40 instructional hours, will receive a Church Ministries Certificate. There are four levels of achievement, each building upon the other: Foundational Church Ministries, Standard Church Ministries, Advanced Church Ministries, and Leadership in Church Ministries.
Adult Education Center: Our goal is to build a community where people are empowered to improve their life and family through the achievement of academic and career goals. In partnership with Westwood Baptist Academy, adults will prepare to take the high school equivalency test or complete the necessary course work to receive their high school diploma.
RU School of Discipleship: In depth discipleship using the RU Recovery Program as a unique spiritual approach to develop lifelong stability and to help adults overcome addictive behaviors while growing in their relationship with Christ.
Helping Hands Ministry: Encouraging those in need by assisting with necessities such as food and clothing. Providing Biblical counseling to individuals and families in order to bring hope, healing, and restoration. Training in life skills necessary for everyday living, including finances, family, relationships, employment, etc.

The life of Timothy teaches us that it does not matter where we come from, Godly influences, and Biblical teaching can overcome any disadvantage.
