St. Timothy's is an historic, traditional Episcopal church. St. Timothy's had its beginning early in Massillon history. James Duncan, founder of Massillon, was Episcopalian and in some ways was the founder of St. Timothy's for the first recorded Episcopal service in Massillon was held in his home. Mr. Duncan gave the land for the first building and served on the first vestry.
