WHAT KIND OF CHURCH ARE WE?

We are an Independent Christian Church which came out of the Restoration Movement of the frontier period of America. The Restoration Movement was fueled by the desire to call all followers of Christ to unity by simply returning to the Bible as our source of authority. We do not believe that man-made creeds are necessary as the Bible is complete in and of itself as a guide for our individual lives as well as church doctrine. We have no denominational hierarchy or denominational structure. Each church operates “independently” while following the leadership of the local church elders who look to the Bible as their source of guidance and submit to Christ as the Head of the Church (Ephesians 1:22). We do not profess to be the only Christians but rather Christians only. Therefore, we choose to be called simply “Christians” rather than another distinctive denominational name.

WHat We Believe

Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God, who died for our sins and arose from the dead.

The Bible is the inspired word of God - a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path.

2 Timothy 3:16 | Psalm 119:105

Every person has worth as a creation of God, but that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Romans 3:23

Forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life are available to those who trust Christ as Savior and Lord.

John 3:16

Those accepting Christ should repent of sin, confess their faith, and be baptized into Him.

Romans 10:9 | Acts 2:38

The Church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit and exists to evangelize the lost and edify the saved.

Ephesians 4:1-16

Jesus Christ will one day return to earth and reign forever as King of kings and Lord of lords.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

Our History

TCCC began by faith in 1999 with a small group of committed people who set forth the original vision of prayer, biblical teaching, discipleship, and every member involvement. The name “The Carpenter’s Christian Church” was chosen to show future generations that Jesus was originally a carpenter, and that God still gives his followers practical talents and spiritual gifts to accomplish his ministry today.

The congregation has experienced unusual unity of purpose under its two senior ministers—Don Hill was the founding minister and Greg Warren, the current senior minister, followed in 2003. Early in its history the congregation, while meeting in numerous rented facilities, established a three-phase vision which would include a multi-purpose building, gymnasium, and main worship and education center. In a significant step of faith, the small congregation purchased the land and today all three phases have been completed with over 800 people attending each week.

In 2024, TCCC celebrated twenty-five years of remarkable growth. It is a church where people experience God’s love, personal discipleship, and involvement in one of the many ministries that are reaching out to people at church and in the community.

Today, there is a place for everyone: a beautiful nursery, an exciting children’s program, a vibrant and relevant student ministry, great worship, Bible preaching and teaching, small groups for fellowship and meeting specific needs, a personal discipleship program, a great seniors ministry, a volunteer place of service where every member can effectively serve, plus much more.

From the beginning TCCC has always had a warm family-type atmosphere, a place where all are welcome, and people can truly love God and one another!
