​At Tucker First we seek to live out the Great Commission to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.  We do this by remaining faithful to the core process of vital congregations:
  • Reaching out into our community and joyfully receiving into our family of faith all who will respond;
  • Encouraging people in their relationship with God and inviting them into a commitment to Jesus Christ and his kingdom;
  • Providing opportunities for people to be nurtured and to practice the spiritual disciplines of prayer, communion, Bible study, worship, and fellowship;
  • Supporting people to live as faithful disciples in their homes, communities, places of work and around the world.

News, Events, Volunteer Activities

Helping Hands and Caring Hearts Needed for Summer Lunch Program. Since May 2018, the Children First Committee has partnered with Action Ministries Smart Lunch/Smart Kid program to serve lunches during weekdays of school holidays to children at Tucker Mobile Home Park. Volunteers are needed to prepare about ninety bagged lunches in the Activities Center and deliver them to children at Tucker Mobile Homes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays - June 3-August 2.
 
On Fridays, volunteers are needed also to help with “Fun Fridays” enrichment activities with the children at Tucker Mobile Homes from 12:00-1:00pm. This thriving community is located off Lawrenceville Highway just north of Jimmy Carter Boulevard, only minutes from our church. If you can make time to help with this summer ministry project serving children in our community, please sign up at https://tinyurl.com/summerlunchbuddy2019.

Sign Up for Vacation Bible School. We are excited to announce that we have again been asked to be a test church for Cokesbury’s VBS material. We will be testing the theme that will be released to the public in 2020. Therefore, the theme is a SECRET! I hope you have already blocked the week of June 24 – 28, as we cannot make VBS happen without YOU!
