TBC Choir Easter Concert – Join us for a special Easter Celebration Concert presented by the TBC Adult Choir during the 9 AM Sunday service on April 13 in the Worship Center. This 30-minute musical presentation, No Cross, No Crown, powerfully recounts the events of the crucifixion.

As long as I can remember, I have always wanted to be a part of the gospel movement. In fact, while I was in the 8th grade, my desire was to work in the ministry. The Colorado conference experience raised questions for me: Was I being honest with myself about God? Was I being honest with God about my own spiritual state? I was saved but I had never pursued Christ.

Our purpose at Triad Baptist Church is to connect people to God, to other believers, and to service. There is a place for you to connect at Triad and we believe that the process starts in a small group setting. By spending time each week with a small group, you can build relationships with others, share life with them, and be encouraged to pursue Jesus Christ in all that you do. It is our goal to have every member of our church involved in either a Connect Group or another similar small-group experience. While most groups are sermon-based, some are special interest groups focusing on topics such as parenting, marriage recovery, and Christian basics for new believers.

Each Sunday morning, I get a weekly report on the amount of time from the previous seven days that was spent with my eyes on the tiny 6-inch screen held in the palm of my hand. I’ll be honest some weeks aren’t so bad, and then there are others that honestly hurt my overall average. This calls out the danger of submerging our lives into this social media world, spending hours daily feeding our hearts and minds with the content placed there. Therefore, we need a test that can help us determine if the content I’m posting and the content I’m consuming are aligned with scripture as Philippians 4:8, “Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
