TICA VALUES & VISION

Belonging

  • We find belonging with each other and are encouraged because we belong to God
  • TICA is a place where you can belong to this community, even before you believe!

Forgiveness

  • Because of Jesus, we can experience true forgiveness and freedom.
  • At TICA, you will always be met with forgiveness and grace by the community around you.

Purpose

  • We know that God has designed each of us with unique purposes. We discover those purposes more as we learn about His Word and spend time with His people.
  • TICA is a place where we can serve together and encourage one another in the purposes that God has for us.

Power

  • We believe that the Holy Spirit of God is at work in His people, giving us the power grow His Kingdom and lead lives that honor Him.
  • At TICA, we are ready and willing for Holy Spirit to work through us both individually and corporately.

The Vision

TICA is a community that makes community—a family that builds family. We believe the vision that God has called us to is to plant a daughter church of TICA at each of the 20 stops of the Tsukuba Express train line. Led by Pastors Chris & Lindsey Carter, this will be accomplished through the local community of the members of TICA in partnership with “Team TICA.” Team TICA is a discipling, nurturing, reproducing, vision-casting, and church building coalition of missionaries. We are committed to reaching the people of Japan through the vision God has called us to.
