GO Spotlight
Train Leaders
One of TCBC’s five Go Pursuits is Train Leaders. We believe strongly in the importance of healthy leaders serving healthy churches for the advancement of the gospel.
This week we are launching Cohort 10 of the Tri-Cities Leadership Training Program with 7 students from 5 different churches participating. They are beginning a 2-year journey of theological training utilizing Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary combined with teaching, personal coaching, and leadership development provided by our church. Over the last 13 years, this program has equipped pastors, Bible teachers, ministry leaders, church planters, college campus ministers, and cross-cultural missionaries from 15 local churches in the Tri-Cities.
How can you help?
- Give to scholarship these students through the Charles Chandler Scholarship Fund.
- Pray for the new students in Cohort 10: Bridger, Phillip, Bree, Hayden, Eli, Ashlee, and Joshua.
- Pray for Cohort 9 students entering their second year: Jaime, Jared, Dustin, and Zack.

BIG TRUTH: GOD IS Love
BIBLE VERSE: 1 JOHN 4:16B
“God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God and God abides in Him.”
BIG IDEAS

- God’s love is put on display through Jesus’ sacrificial death in our place.
- God’s love changes our hearts.
