Our Mission
To bring glory to God and to help every person discover and develop a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ!
Church Profile
In the Fall of 1998, God birthed a new church in the Hampton Cove area. Two local pastors, Bobby Gordon and Keith Miller (meet the leadership team), joined together to lead this new venture. Six years later, the adventure continues!
TC@HC is now over 400 revolutionaries strong and growing every week! Our service on Sunday morning at 10:30 am is contemporary and informal. There is no certain style of dress expected. In fact, our only expectation is that you will experience the very presence of God and the love of His people.
There's something for every member of your family at TC@HC. Discovery Island Preschool at 9:15 AM & 10:30 AM. Camp Vanguard ministry for children ages 6-11 starts at 9:15 AM. Middle School students meet for "Wake 68" at 9:15 AM and High School students meet for Wide Open at our Upper Room location at 4:30 PM. There's also adult classes at 9:15 AM.

Greetings, Huntsville area leaders!
Safe at Home Huntsville will be here before we know it (Sunday, July 30)! Several of you have already purchased blocks of tickets for your church. Thank you so very much! Thanks also to all of you who are moving your evening service to the stadium that night. What a great opportunity to invite lost and unchurched friends!
If you haven't yet ordered or if you need more information about this amazing evangelistic event, go to www.safeathomehuntsville.com.
Please mark your calendars for Wednesday, July 12 from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM. Along with Scott Dawson and his team, we local pastors and leaders will be gathering at the Joe Davis Stadium for some Chic-fil-a and powerful prayer time.
God hears the fervent prayers of His righteous people. We must intercede for our city, our churches and for those who don't know Christ. We will specifically pray for a great harvest at Safe at Home Huntsville and for God's favor on the event and on the follow-up with those who make decisions.
I look forward to seeing you there, July 12, and at Safe at Home Huntsville Sunday afternoon, July 30!

Christmas in July - Kid's To Love Foundation and WAY-FM
|
Christmas in July
Saturday, July 15th
- Each year WAY-FM partners with a local organization for our Summer Community Outreach program in an effort to help make a difference in the Tennessee Valley. This year we are teaming up with our friends at Kid’s To Love. Kids To Love is a foundation started by Channel 48 News Anchor Lee Marshall. The organization helps foster children with many different needs they are facing including clothing, supplies, as well as offering guidance for those interested in becoming foster parents.
Our first event gathering school supplies was a huge success and before we can get to the free concert, we need to ask for your help one more time. On July 15th, we are going to hold a Christmas in July celebration. There are many foster children across the valley that may not have a Christmas and along with you we hope to change that for at least one year.
We are asking you to donate toys, games, clothing and other articles for teens. Many times the generous donations received by Kid’s to Love are geared for the younger kids, but the older ones are in need as well.
Please continue to help us make in difference in the Valley. It’s because of you that we are able to reach youth and young adults in a positive, upbeat and encouraging way that no other radio station can claim.

Pearlington Trips - Teams and Volunteers |
|
|
When the walls of Jerusalem fell, Nehemiah began to rebuild the walls one brick at a time. The people told him to come down from the wall, that he was wasting his time. He said he could not, he would not come down for he was doing a great thing for the Lord. At times we feel like our efforts in Pearlington, Mississippi are so small when compared to the amount of destruction that has been done by Hurricane Katrina. But when we think of Nehemiah, each supply drive, each mission trip, each plea for help that we make becomes one more brick of hope as we REBUILD PEARLINGTON....one brick at time.
