Missions

Matthew 28:19

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”

In David Platt's book, Radical, he challenges the church to answer the questions, "What are you doing with what I have given you? How are you going to use your influence, your leadership, and your resources in the world around you?" At The Church at Tuscaloosa, we believe that God has called us so that the nations might know Him. He has blessed us so that the earth will see His glory!

Global Effect is a great example of that calling. It is a Christian humanitarian organization whose vision is to serve impoverished communities around the world by equipping them to transform their socio-economic, physical and spiritual well-being. Bart Smelley, Executive Director of Global Effect and an executive staff member at TCAT, states, "We choose projects and communities where we believe the need is greatest and our solutions and strategic approach can be a catalyst for transformation. Our project locations are typically struggling economically, socially, educationally and spiritually. They do not have access to clean drinking water, employment or the basic necessities for life."
