TCU exists to help others learn how to live transparently and love healthier because we believe that growth happens in relationships. What is a "trench"? Trenches are vibrant communities where you can join with a small group of people who meet together regularly for personal/emotional/spiritual growth and friendship through our curriculum. 

Our  trenches (small groups) offer three things:

1. Connection, because life is better when connected than disconnected. In our trenches (small groups) you will experience contagious love and powerful encouragement in your transformational journey of emotional, physical and spiritual healing.
2. Protection: It is okay to not always be okay and in the process of physical, emotional and spiritual healing, what is shared in the trench stays in the trench
3. Direction: it is our mission to help you move forward in life transparently, confidently and happily.

Surrendering to Serenity 

There are five things we often unknowingly put our hope in, causing unrealistic expectations to raise and relationships to fall, ​and as the cycle perpetuates, hopelessness and anger can become two emotions that drive our emotional cars. These studies will reveal how to have realistic relational expectations that fuel us with hope and free us from anger.  

​
Join us in the trenches for 7 weeks to learn powerful tools to practice self-control while living free from anger.

Learning to Understand and be Understood 

Often what we do to minimize a problem in our life is the same thing that maximizes it! Taking time to understand others and ourselves rids us of the need to run from ourselves as well as others. These studies will reveal how to be more easy-going and flexible by learning how to embrace truth, let go and live more flexibly!

Finding & Embracing Your Identity 

What and who we look to, to define us can send us into identity crisis. We tend to think that we need to be the "same" in order to get along; that our own identity, opinions, likes and dislikes cause conflict. Finding and Embracing Your Identity will not only reveal who you really are but will provide tools to help you embrace your God-given identity.

Do you have trouble asking for what you want and/or need?
Do you feel like you have to have another person around in order to feel normal or worthwhile?
Do you worry a great amount about how others perceive you?
Do you find yourself involved in any way in many people's lives?

If you answered yes to ANY of these, then you won't want to miss this trench!
