Discipleship
TCC is committed to the concept and practice of Intentional Discipleship (ID). Our ID approach grew out of the G12 model. The essential difference between the two approaches is this: G12 is an evangelism model with one of its outcomes being discipleship, whereas TCC's ID program is a discipleship model with one of its outcomes being evangelism.
In other words, our goal is to walk through life's difficulties with our "disciples", and along the way, help these people become increasingly conformed to Christ's image. As each one of us grows more mature in our relationship with God, we are able to reach out to others and help them into the kingdom.
ID Groups
The following ID groups are currently available. Please try to attend one, and pray about a friend or family member who might benefit from coming with you. You will see that each group has a slightly different focus, location, time of day, etc., to meet the needs of a wide range of schedules. If you are new to these groups, please contact one of the hosts to confirm meeting times and dates.
