Registration is requested and required for childcare. Register for Comprehensive DTC
Send Relief – Nepal
On Wednesday, August 26 flash flooding tore through northern Nepal, destroying homes, roads and bridges and leaving entire villages reachable only by air. Our primary disaster response parter, Send Relief, is mobilizing through partner churches already in those communities. Download a Prayer Guide to pray for the people of Nepal and the relief efforts. You can also give through Give2Go by notating “Give2Go – Nepal” on your check or online gift in the memo section.
Men’s Conference
September 19, 2026
Be Zealous. In a world that celebrates comfort, pushes distraction, and breeds complacency, God calls His people to a much greater pursuit. Titus 2:11–14 declares that the grace of God not only saves us—it trains us, transforms us, and fills us with eager expectation for the return of Jesus Christ. As our hope is fixed on Christ’s appearing, our priorities are reshaped, our lives are reordered, and even the smallest moments become opportunities to live for His glory. Christ has redeemed a people for His own possession who are zealous for good works, and that calling belongs to every believer.
Join us for this one-day men’s conference as we open God’s Word, encourage one another, and challenge one another to reject passivity, pursue joyful obedience, and live with gospel purpose. Come ready to be anchored by the hope of Christ’s return and equipped to be zealous for the glory of God in all of life. Men and boys of all ages are welcome! Learn more and register today!

GO Spotlight
The Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM) at ETSU is an important partner in reaching the next generation in our community and beyond. ETSU just welcomed its largest freshman class ever and experienced their third 5% annual increase in enrollment out of the last 5 years. Simply stated, the campus contains the largest number of those far from God of any other location east of Knoxville.
TCBC partners with the BCM in a number of ways. Our Give2Go missions fund generously supports the operations budget of their ministry. One of our Go: Pray Teams prays for their students and their mission field weekly. We have sent high schoolers to clean, landscape, and organize their facility. Last night Pastor Wes preached on the importance of the local church at their annual Church Fair. On September 15 as part of our Love Your City week, we will be providing a meal for the 250+ students that attend their weekly Outlet event, and one of our pastors will be preaching. In November, the TCBC Go Team and College Ministry will be hosting a Thanksgiving meal for international students in their building.
You can help by praying for the BCM – consider joining the Go Pray Team that supports them. Your generous giving to Give2Go provides us with the ability to invest in this work on ETSU’s campus.

BIG IDEAS
- The Bible is a book that contains the words of God Himself.
- The Bible is the source of all truth.
- Every word in the Bible was given to us by God and was written for our good.
- The Bible is the story of God’s rescue plan for the world.
Hook
Gather together several books you have at home. They don’t have to be children’s books; they can be books for older people. Stack them together and place two Bibles with them. Mix them together. Hold up a book and ask your child if it’s the Bible? Talk with them about how you know the words inside of the book aren’t from God. Then when you do hold up the Bible, explain how you know the words are from God. They tell the story of Jesus and give us instructions on how to live and tell us about God.
