About My Church Plant
Although I grew up in the United States, it has been my prayer for more than 20 years to be involved in church planting in Canada, and ultimately that prayer was answered as God has called me to start The Table Community Church (TCC) in Chilliwack, British Columbia. The TCC was inspired by the early church, which devoted itself to the breaking of bread, the study of Scripture, and selfless living.
The vision of TCC is a fellowship of believers that exists to prepare a seat for others to encounter Jesus’ teaching at God’s banquet, to share life in a Spirit-filled community, and to live out the gospel as an invitation to the feast (Acts 2:42-48). As we gather, grow, and go together, we will look to glorify God, build disciples, equip the saints for ministry, and multiply the local church.

NAMB Church Planting
Millions living in North America have not been reached with the gospel. But a new church makes change possible in an unreached neighborhood.
Send Network church planters immerse themselves in a community, learning the rhythms and culture as they establish relationships with the lost. A church plant grows out of the evangelism efforts of the planter and his core team.
