​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.

Sponsor a Mile(s) For Our Youth Missionaries. Our youth mission team is traveling to Honduras over Spring Break to work with Honduras Outreach International (HOI). Please help our youth mission team get there by sponsoring a mile of their journey (it is roughly 1,400 miles). Each of the youth going is responsible for $1,400 ($1 a mile). If you or your group is interested in supporting our youth missionaries, please contact Chris Moss at cmoss@tfumc.org.
 
Safe Sanctuaries Training in March. Tucker First offers Safe Sanctuaries training as a way to make our church a safe place for the young and the vulnerable and those in ministry with them. If you work with any Tucker First infants through high school youth, you need to be trained in Safe Sanctuaries. If your training is more than two years old, you need to attend the class and get re-certified. The class includes filling out paperwork, attending a lecture and PowerPoint presentation about abuse and reviewing the Tucker First policy. RSVP is needed for this class in order to have all the materials ready. Contact Mimi Sanders at mimi_sanders@tfumc.org or 678-325-4038. The March classes are March 18 at 7:00 pm and March 31 at 2:00 pm. All classes are held in the Becker Conference Room.
