TCTC 2026
January 9-11, 2026:
THEME
In the Bible, "more than" reveals a God of abundance, calls people to deep authenticity, and challenges surface-level religiosity. It speaks to identity, calling, worship, and love – all being far more than what the world often settles for.
This year at TCTC we’re going to explore the life of Peter and look at how Jesus called him to be “more than.” As we look at Peter, we see that he was a fisherman, and Jesus called him to be more than his label. Later, when Peter was walking on water towards Jesus, he took his eyes off of Him because of his surrounding circumstances. Jesus called him to be more than in the midst of those circumstances. And when Jesus was arrested and Peter denied ever knowing Him, Jesus, after his resurrection, restored Peter and showed him he was more than his failures. Peter would later write in 1 Peter 1:3-4:
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade."
Peter experienced the mercy of Christ in his life, and through Peter’s life, I hope students can understand that they are more than their labels, more than their circumstances, and more than their failures. I’m praying for you and the students you’ll bring to TCTC so they can experience what God wants them to know, they are MORE THAN.
