Pastoral greeting

The driving force behind all that we do is our belief that a personal relationship with Jesus Christ leads to a full and abundant life. As we embrace His teachings, the results are undeniable. We become spiritually mature and physically/emotionally healthy. We establish statisfying relationships,match our calling/profession with our unique gift mix, and secure the financial fuel our destiny requires. Jesus fills our lives with love, joy, peace, hope , stability and purpose as we pursue the life God created us to enjoy!

We are a growing church with an energy and excitement about the many new faces that are finding a place to belong at TLC and we want you to know that there’s a place for you!

I hope you will choose to stop by and see for yourself all the wonderful things that are happening here!

How can men become Godly men in this society where men’s roles as husbands, fathers, sons and workers are being redefined? M-Power Men’s Ministry exists to equip, encourage and enable men to lead their families and community. Men’s Ministry brings the Gospel of Jesus to mean in a real, relevant, and practical approach. We believe when men gather together, great things happen.

Couples Ministry

The couples ministry is to strengthen the relationships with Jesus and with each other. We want the ministry to reassure the importance and the necessity of married couples in the church. It shows the example of the love that God has for each one of us. The effects of a strong and healthy marriage will then show in the children ( if the couple has children). This will help the children as they get older to know what a marriage united by God looks like.
