Created For A Purpose

WOW! What can we say but – wow, what a great day; we’ve learned so much. God is teaching us…
About us
About you
About our job together
About what it’s going to take for us to fulfill the vision for TVCC

Folks – God has placed us here to make a difference. Every time we come here to Saddleback and revisit the vision God gave us to reach all the people we can, we’re encouraged to remember that God is on our side and He wants the best for us and from us. And when we think of our present situation, i.e. multiple services and multiple meeting sites, we’re also encouraged to remember that Saddleback moved 79 times before they had their first tent – that’s right, tent. It was some fifteen years before they actually had a place to call their own, yet they reached thousands and were nomadic doing it!

God has blessed us so much in our very young seven-and-a-half years. We’ve grown from 22 in August of 2000 to over 500 members now, not counting youth and children. We’ve seen some 300 baptisms and more than 400 who’ve said yes to Jesus Christ. We’ve taken 4 mission trips to the D.R., one to Haiti, and several others to Memphis and Mississippi. God has and is using us as a catalyst in our community to show the love and heart of Christ to a lost and hurting people in need of a Savior. We’re so proud of you all. You are truly a letter written on our hearts.

As we’ve been away, Marylin & I have prayed about the changes necessary in our own lives in order to be who God has placed us in the body to be. In the days and weeks to come, we pray that you also will be ready and willing to do whatever it takes to reach more and more people for the global glory of God.

We will see you this weekend!
