Groups
TC Groups are one of the best ways to grow as a Transformer beyond Sunday mornings.
As we grow in God’s story, it’s important to connect with other Transformers. TC Groups provide space beyond Sunday mornings for us to grow Upward, Inward, and Outward. We want everyone to be a part of a TC Group that studies the Bible and prays, shares life and encourages one another, and loves others well.
Why should I join a TC Group?
Jesus said to make disciples, which means a student or learner. Being a disciple calls us to ongoing belief and obedience as we follow Christ. At TC, we use the word “Transformer” to describe disciples of Jesus and work to intentionally develop five characteristics that help us grow – Worship, Connect, Serve, Give, and Invite.
The word “character” comes from the tool used to make an imprint in stone or clay. Character is formed bit by bit over time, pressing in repeatedly to make a distinct impression. We want our character to look like Jesus, and through TC Groups, we are able to live out these five characteristics in some way every time that we gather.
What happens in a TC Group?
TC Groups spend time together in three intentional ways as we live out our vision to be a multiethnic, multigenerational, mission-shaped community that loves God completely (Upward), ourselves correctly (Inward), and our neighbors compassionately (Outward).
Study and Pray
TC Groups spend 30-45 minutes studying the Bible
or biblically-based content and responding in prayer.
Share and Encourage
TC Groups spend 20-30 minutes sharing life and calling
attention to Christ in our lives.
Love Others
TC Groups spend a little bit of time every week and a lot of time
occasionally praying for and serving those outside of the group.
Who can join a TC Group?
While no single TC Group will be able to fully reflect the diversity of our congregation and community, we expect that every TC Group will be intentionally living out our vision to be a multiethnic, multigenerational, mission-shaped community that loves God completely (Upward), ourselves correctly (Inward), and our neighbors compassionately (Outward).
Most TC Groups are open to men and women of any age. However, some TC Groups are for a specific group of Transformers, including men, women, young adults (18-30), and seniors (60+).
