Our Mission

Why We Exist

TBCS exists to provide Christ-centered biblical education that helps adults grow in the Word, deepen their walk with Jesus, and move forward with purpose in life, leadership, service, and ministry.

What We Believe

Statement of Faith

Our beliefs are rooted in the unchanging truth of Scripture and the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.

i.The Word of God

We believe in the Bible as the divinely inspired Word of God — our infallible, all-sufficient guide for salvation and for the Christian life.

ii.God

We believe in one God, the Creator of all, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

iii.Jesus Christ

We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is true God and true man, begotten of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin.

iv.Humanity & the Fall

We believe in the depravity of man’s nature through the fall in the Garden of Eden, and in the absolute inability of man to save himself from eternal punishment by his own works.

v.The Finished Work of Christ

We believe in the finished work of Christ on the Cross of Calvary. Through His sacrifice, Christ accomplished complete and eternal redemption; the maturing of the believer is the unveiling of His finished work.

Christ is:

The Head of the Church
The Lord of the individual
The High Priest over the House of God
The Advocate in the family of God

vi.The Return of Christ

We believe in the literal return of Christ to this earth for His Church, to establish His Kingdom.
