From Table To Community
While we do encourage you to come to the church and be at a table, our heart's desire is that you will go from tables to community.
We believe that the Acts 2 model comes to life when we see the 4th Sunday vision not just in the building but lived out in our homes.

Here at TLC, we believe we are better together. Shalom was created to build community and grow together. A space where every person can be seen, known, and loved. The church has never been about a building; we believe it’s time to start acting like it. Let’s see Shalom, Let’s grow together. – Vernon Gordon, Lead Pastor

Research has shown that loneliness is one of the greatest threats to human health today. Combined with the growing disconnect between many communities and their church. Yet, at the same time, there's an increasing desire for many Christians to grow deeper in their faith through intentional conversations, like-minded community, and space for life's questions. In scripture, "Shalom" is the last word of the priestly blessing, found in the oldest known fragment of the biblical text, Numbers 6:24-26
"The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord, make his face shine on you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up his countenance on you and give you shalom."
The word shalom is a beautiful word with powerful meaning. Whenever you employ the word shalom, you speak of all the beautiful things that shalom means in someone's life. In our context, we see it as an opportunity to serve and shape people's lives with greater intention and connection. We also believe this increases our evangelistic reach by cultivating atmospheres designed for the well-being of those in our community. Encouragements for this type of ecclesiology are found in passages like Jeremiah 29:7 AMP.
"Seek peace and well-being for the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf; for in its peace (well-being) you will have Shalom."
