go trips
We send disciples on strategic short-term Go Trips to proclaim the gospel to the nations as we Serve the Vulnerable, Train Leaders, Reach the Unreached, and Plant Churches.
Go Trips occur year-round to various domestic and international locations.
go groups
Go Groups are groups of disciples of Jesus, each led by a disciple-maker with an intentional plan to take a next step of growth toward Christlikeness through consistent investment. Go Groups provide biblical community and discipling opportunities for every follower of Jesus. Tri-Cities offers three types of Go Groups: Study, Fellowship, and Serve.
