Through thought-leadership and programmingincluding public events, small-group sessions, leader training and coaching, and intentional relationshipswe prove that divisive issues can become catalysts to build healthy and life-giving communities that are growing in love of God and neighbor.

As a young but well-established non-profit ministry, TCF is positioned to grow dramatically over the next few years both in size and influence.
