God is on a mission to rescue people, renew creation, and re-establish his good and beautiful reign in the midst of darkness, evil, hate, and pain. We want to be a church that joins God's rescue mission right here and around the world.


We love The Message translation of John’s Gospel when he speaks of Jesus, the ultimate Word of God, becoming human:


“The Word became flesh and blood

and moved into the neighborhood.” 

(John 1:14)


We want to follow Jesus’ lead as we live into our name — to be a church in the neighborhood, for the neighborhood, and to reflect the neighborhood in all of its diversity. 

LOVING OUR NEIGHBORS

LOCAL MINISTRIES & PARTNERS

THE NEIGHBORHOOD CLOTHES CLOSET (GARLAND)

3rd Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. @ the ROC

We give free clothing, shoes, jackets, and more for adults and children in our space at the ROC Community Center at 3375 Edgewood Dr, Garland, TX 75042. We love to spend time getting to know and pray with our neighbors here each month.


THE NEIGHBORHOOD TABLE (GARLAND)

4th Fridays at 6:30 p.m. @ the ROC

The Neighborhood Table is where we share a meal and the stories of Jesus. Every 4th Friday of the month we're hosting a free family dinner because our world could use more opportunities for neighbors to break bread together. Come for the food, fun, and music and stay for a story of Jesus and how his kingdom is transforming our world.


THE ROC (GARLAND)

The ROC (Re'Creation Outreach Center) is a community center in Garland, Texas with a mission to serve others and make Jesus Christ the center of our diverse community. They exist to meet physical, mental, and spiritual needs through training, resourcing, and connecting people to God and the community. From after-school programs and our week of VBS to back-to-school and holiday parties, there are many ways our church partners with the ROC and other area churches throughout the year. 


AUSTIN STREET (DALLAS)

Founded in 1983, Austin Street Center provides safe shelter and meets the basic needs of the most vulnerable homeless. Once a month a group from TNC provides and serves a meal to those staying at this homeless shelter in downtown Dallas.

 

OURCALLING (DALLAS)

OurCalling is a discipleship ministry for the homeless in Dallas and the surrounding area. Members of TNC serve with and give toward this ministry in a variety of ways throughout the year.

THE ECCLESIA NETWORK

We are grateful to be a part of The Ecclesia Network, a relational network (not a denomination) of missional churches who share resources, events, and ideas. Ecclesia has been a vital part of our local church's health through equipping, coaching, and support.


MINISTERIO PESCADOR (CIUDAD JUAREZ, MEXICO & EL PASO, TEXAS)

We are grateful to partner with Cesar and Raquel Quinones — our honorary church members out West! For years they have served those on the margins of society — the homeless, the jailed, the addicted, and the hungry. In addition to their work across the border, their ministry provides groceries for under-resourced families in El Paso. TNC was blessed to send a team to El Paso in 2015 to build the Ken Kaniatobe Memorial Food Pantry to house the donations that would bless families on both sides of the border.


RYAZAN EVANGELICAL CHURCH (RYAZAN, RUSSIA)

God has united two churches separated by half the world but joined by the Holy Spirit. We have had a fruitful and long-term relationship with our brothers and sisters for many years.
