The following is a helpful summary of what we believe:

• The divine inspiration and infallibility of Holy Scripture, as originally given, and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
• The unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead.
• The universal sinfulness and guilt of human nature since the fall, rendering man subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.
• The conception of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit and his birth of the virgin Mary.
• Redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin, only through the sacrificial death, as our representative and substitute, of Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God.
• The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
• The necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit to make the death of Christ effective in the individual sinner, granting him repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ.
• The indwelling and work of the Holy Spirit in the believer.
• The expectation of the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

What we believe shapes how we behave. So, together we serve to know Christ and make Christ known for the glory of God. This behaviour works out in five key objectives for us:

• Magnification – to see our people more passionately adore, praise and thank God in all things and especially when we gather together;
• Membership – to see all people find connection, community and care within God’s family visible in this local church;
• Maturity – to see our people know God deeply, growing in their faith, hope and love and making gospel-driven decisions in all of life;
• Ministry – to see our people embrace a lifestyle of sacrificially serving one another in both formal and informal church ministries; and
• Mission – to se more people hear and understand the gospel of Jesus Christ for the first time, through our local gospel witness and global mission partnerships.

As a local church, TCC is a constituent church within the REACH-SA (formerly known as CESA) family. That means we are an autonomous local church with our own constitution but operate in fellowship and partnership with other like-minded local churches within REACH-SA. 

REACH is an acronym that helpfully reflects what we think our purpose is: to reach South Africa with the good news of Jesus Christ. As an acronym, it reflects our identity as a gospel believing and gospel proclaiming family. In its non-contracted form, our name reflects the history and tradition of our identity. We are the Reformed, Evangelical, Anglican Church of SA:

• Reformed because our roots are in the Protestant Reformation of the 16th Century and the biblical truth that justification is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to Scripture alone, for the glory of God alone. 
• Evangelical because of the absolute supremacy we assign to the Bible as the inspired and infallible Word of God as the final authority in all matters of faith and life and the absolute centrality we attach to the person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ in both our salvation and ongoing sanctification through inward work of the Holy Spirit.
• Anglican because we subscribe to the statement of faith known as the 39 Articles, to the liturgy and common worship principles of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and to the ordination structures as found in the Ordinals.
• Church because we are a local gathering who gather as a visible expression of the heavenly gathering …  where people from every nation, every tribe and every tongue, gathers around the throne of God in worship.
