Special Events Branch

Special Events includes Seminars, Spring Retreat, and other events that take place to encourage, deepen our relationship with Christ, and strengthen our bond with other women of TBC.  These Special Events, however, cannot take place without the help of many volunteers.  If you are interested in decorating, preparing food, greeting, acting, singing, organizing, or leading, there is a place in the Special Events for you!
