MISSIONS

Group 242.jpg

TCC is excited to be part of missions around the world. We believe that by partnering with those that train, send, and impact a local community, we are able to advance the Kingdom of God beyond what we could do on our own.

We hope to be partakers with the various missionaries and ministries local, national, and world, in pointing people to Christ. We want them to see the world with God’s eyes and to feel God’s heart. With great fervour, it is of high importance here at TCC to lead the congregation in fulfilling the “Great Commission” as stated in Matthew 28:19-20 and Mark 16:15-20.
