The Community - TC
The Community (TC) is an apostolic global Kingdom community operating upon Kingdom principles. It emulates current reformation positions and functions through strong, accurate relationships, revelatory teaching, sound government, and strategic initiatives.
TC’s authorized mandate is to consciously construct a viable, multi-interfaced community in NW Arkansas that models elevated lifestyles, Kingdom values, and effective corporate capacity for Kingdom advance through an on-going process towards maturity in and through Jesus Christ. TC also serves as the apostolic core community within the wider framework of Preparing The Way Network.
TC is also a community dedicated to building a people who are indomitable to the changing face of the earth. Throughout the earth today crisis is unfolding and making itself felt upon all dimensions of human life. From the global economic crisis, to war and terrorism, to environmental change and moral decay; life is becoming more and more strenuous.
According to the American Psychological Association almost half of all adults say that they are increasingly stressed about their ability to provide for their family's basic needs. In June 2008, more people reported physical and emotional symptoms due to stress than they did in 2007, and nearly half (47 percent) of adults reported that their stress has increased in the past year. These numbers continue to climb. In another study by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's Center for Injury Research and Policy, suicide rates in the United States are shown to be steadily increasing as the climate of stress and pressure converges upon a larger population dealing with depression and other mental and emotional pressures. The world around us is becoming increasingly harder to process at all levels of society.

"And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken.”-Luke 21:25-27
Scripture clearly speaks of days when the world around us will be overwhelming and the ability of man to confront the realities of life will be unbearable for some. At TC we believe that to effectively live in the midst of these times and this world we must be a people who understand things beyond the boundaries of our church walls. As a part of our mandate, we seek to build people not for mere heavenly glory but also for effective life in the earth today. The process of building stable individuals is predicated upon crafting a people who are knowledgeable of spiritual truths and also have an understanding of the world in which they live. As believers, God has instilled within us His desire that we have relevancy to what is happening on the planet. At TC we move forward in our construction of a secure and stable environment where people are taught, and developed to be strong and full of faith in an ever changing and unpredictable world.
