Serve and Share

At Tri-Cities Baptist Church, we believe in the command to “Go” and share the gospel of Jesus Christ. This can be done through Go Trips to places far away from the Tri-Cities. Faithful Christians, though, are also called to take advantage of Go Moments in their everyday life.

Serve and Share is a platform to connect TCBC’s people to local partners. Joining in ministry opportunities with local partners gives TCBC’s people a chance to share the gospel with those in our community while providing tangible resources to our partners. Serve and Share does not take the place of personal evangelism that faithful followers of Christ are called to daily, but allows us “batting cage” opportunities to practice Go Moments.

GO serve during neighbors & Nations Nov 17-24!

TCBC’s Global Outreach Team works to facilitate opportunities to serve with other local ministries in the community and share the gospel with the lost.
