Neighbors & Nations: train leaders
weeks of november 17 & 24, 2024
Tri-Cities is a redeemed community of Jesus followers on mission together. Neighbors & Nations is a semi-annual emphasis designed to equip and mobilize us for gospel advancement beginning next door and reaching around the world.
Our emphasis for this Neighbors & Nations is our Go Pursuit of Train Leaders. We train leaders because healthy leaders are essential for growing healthy Jesus followers, essential for building healthy churches, and essential for advancing the good news of the gospel around the world.

Everyday Discipleship – 6:30pm-8:00pm
The final command of Jesus to his followers before ascending to heaven was, “go make disciples.” Discipleship is not a program, it is the way Jesus followers are meant to live all of life. We are called to be and grow as disciples of Jesus, as well as called to invite others to become and grow as disciples of Jesus. Everyday Discipleship is an evening of equipping and investment in discipling with Dr. Chuck Lawless of the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

It is the primary opportunity for TCBC members to give above and beyond regular tithes and offerings toward advancing the gospel and making disciples. Together, as God provides through the sacrificial generosity of His church, we will multiply our capacity to advance the gospel across 5 Go Pursuits (Send Disciples, Serve the Vulnerable, Train Leaders, Reach the Unreached, and Plant Churches).
