As we come to worship the Lord together as a body of believers, we welcome those who enter the doors of our assembly. Each person is welcome to join us wherever they may be on their journey of life. With that acceptance comes our heart's desire that each person at TBC will find acceptance and forgiveness in the sight of our Lord Jesus Christ. Christ's call goes out to each one to join in seeking Him and having a personal relationship with Him.
The Bible, God's Word, has the answers to life's pain and problems. It is a book of life and wisdom, hope and joy to those open their heart to its life-giving words. That is why we faithfully teach and preach the Scriptures each week for practical answers to life's questions. We have Sunday school classes for all ages and our teachers have a deep burden that each student learns the Word of God.
Prayer is often neglected in Christian assemblies today. Prayer is essential to the believers' life and the health and well being of a local church. Prayer is a privilege, and at TBC we take time to pray for one another during our Sunday school, worship services, and afternoon or evening gatherings. We also hold a weekly prayer meeting either on Tuesday or Wednesday. At this time we make available a detailed prayer sheet to keep the church family informed as they fervently pray for one another. In addition, the men's Bible study and the ladies' Bible study make time to take prayer requests and bring them before the Lord.
Our music is Christ honoring, worshipful and uplifting. Music is an essential part of worship. Worship is giving worth back to God. God is worthy of our praise, adoration and thanksgiving. At TBC we strive to have a Christ centered worship service rather than a man centered entertainment hour. Worship is all about our great God and giving glory to Him. That is why we make it a priority to have hymns and songs that are doctrinally sound and uplifting to the heart. We also incorporate special music into our services at various times and for various holidays. Groups of men, women and children use their talents to glorify God and to minister to the body of believers through song. Each fourth Sunday, the morning worship is followed by a fellowship meal and hymnsing. This provides an opportunity to sing favorites of the church family and to encourage one another in song.
Christ's last command, the great commission, is a passion at TBC. Each Sunday morning worship service includes a missions focus. A portion of the service is taken to update God's people one of the missionaries that TBC supports. This keeps the people aware of what God is doing, through the giving of His people, around the world.
We take praying for our missionaries seriously. One page of our prayer sheet contains our missionary families and specific requests that they have. This is updated weekly.
Whenever our missionaries are stateside and available we host a particulare Sunday where they can share their ministry with us during Sunday school & morning worship. Afterwards we have a fellowship meal followed with a Q & A time. This allows the church family to get to know the missionaries on a deeper level.
In addition to our regular missions' support, special offerings are taken throughout the year for missionaries and mission projects.
