A Bible-believing church on Tokai Road.

Family-friendly, and open every Sunday. You don't need to know anyone, dress a certain way, or have been to church before.

Sundays

Three services, every week of the year

We sit in auditorium-style seating. A few people lead from the stage — praying, reading the Bible, introducing songs — and a music team leads the singing. About halfway through, one of our pastors preaches from the Bible for around half an hour. The whole service takes 75–90 minutes.

Main service

All ages start together, then children up to Grade 10 go to their age groups. A Baby Room at the back of the hall keeps parents of under-ones in the service. Livestreamed on YouTube.

Evening service

The same shape, later in the day. A Bible helps but isn't essential — an app on your phone works just as well.

Programme

What we believe

Together, we serve to know Christ and to make Christ known

We're committed to Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, and to the Bible as the Word of God. TCC is a constituent church of REACH SA — Reformed, Evangelical, Anglican. Autonomous, with our own constitution, in fellowship with like-minded churches.

What we believe shapes how we behave, and works out in five objectives.

Magnification

Adoring, praising and thanking God in all things, especially when we gather.

Membership

Everyone finding connection, community and care within God's family.

Maturity

Knowing God deeply and making gospel-driven decisions in all of life.

Ministry

Sacrificially serving one another, formally and informally.

Mission

More people hearing the gospel for the first time, locally and globally.

Before you come

Questions people ask us first

What should I wear?
Come as you are. Some people dress smartly, others casually. There's no dress code.
When should I arrive?
Parking is rarely a problem. Arrive no later than five minutes before the start so you can find a seat easily.
What happens to my kids?
At 10am everyone starts together, then children up to Grade 10 go to their age groups. The 8am and 6:30pm services have no separate teaching, but children are welcome in them.
What do I actually do?
Watch what everyone else does. We sit for most of the service and stand to sing. The person leading will say what's happening at each point, and you won't be expected to do anything you're not comfortable with.
Can someone meet me at the door?
Yes — get in touch beforehand and we'll arrange for someone friendly to greet you.
What if I can't get there?
The 10am service is livestreamed on YouTube, and each Sunday's sermon is posted there afterwards. Selected sermons are on our podcast — Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube.
