Wednesday night challenges us to go deeper in discussion in our small groups. We take an in depth look into the scripture we studied on Sunday night!

Check our the buttons up top to sign up for events or look below to get more details! 

Date: January 6-8, 2023

THEME

The theme for TCTC 2023 is “Wake Up!” and it’s based on Paul’s plea to Christians in Ephesus to wake up from the dead and allow Christ’s light to shine on them. Paul pleads with these young Christians, and with us, because he knew that God does amazing things when people wake up to the plans God has been and is continuing to unfold in the world around them.

LOCATION

The Tennessee Christian Teen Convention is held in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. There are over 5,000 people that attend from over 130 different churches! 

We will be taking a few 15 passenger vans driven by our youth leaders. We will have a little over 10 youth leaders attending. We are staying at the Big Poplar Retreat Cabin which sleep 68 people! This cabin is about a 5 minute drive to the Gatlinburg Convention Center where TCTC takes place. We will be transporting kids for each session. If you would like to take a look at the cabin you can do so here.
