​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.
