Spiritual Principles
Every church has its own unique identity, and DNA. At TEC, we inspire to be a missional model of ministry – be the church rather than an attractional model – come to church. We also believe that church is not made up of a building or a weekly gathering of people, but by being the body of Christ strengthening and encouraging each other to continue in the faith (1 Thessalonians 5:11).

- Through Christ, God provided the only means of atonement for human sin, so that those who by faith accept this atonement may have eternal life.
