What to Expect

Our Service

TIF North meets at 10:30 a.m. at Morrison Academy in Beitun, and TIF South at 4:30 p.m. at SYME in Xitun. Services begin on time. You are welcome to come early and meet people, or to sit quietly in the worship center.

During the service there will be congregational singing, scripture reading, prayer, preaching and a closing song and benediction. After the service, many of our members stay and fellowship.

Children

Both campuses have a Sunday school for children ages 3 to 8. Each campus also has a class for ages 9 to 12 that meets on some Sundays.
If you prefer, you’re welcome to keep your child with you during the service if they are able to participate with the other worshippers. If they become distracted, you might step outside or consider taking them to the children’s class where they can learn in an age appropriate environment.

Our Values

Family

One church family in four congregations, with people from many nations.

Connectedness

God changes us largely through our relationships with each other.

Warmth

Newcomers, skeptics and honest questions are welcome here.

Together

Don't just come to church. Be the church with us.

Community

Church is more than a gathering or a place, it's the connection between people and the bond we share in Christ. We believe that God uses the power of what Christ did on the Cross to not only save us, but change us and that largely happens through our relationships with each other. Don't just come to church, be the church with us.

Skeptics Welcome

TIF is a safe place for skeptics and those trying to figure things out. We welcome doubts, questions and objections. After the service if you have questions about any part of our service including the sermon, please feel free to approach one of the elders/pastors and ask.

Dress Comfortably

Please don’t feel any need to dress formally or out of your ordinary weekly pattern. Jesus wore the common clothing of his day, so you should also feel free to wear what is comfortable for you while giving thought to others. Our worship center is not heated, so if it's cold, you might bring a jacket.
