Hello
and welcome to the Tipton Family Church website. The site has
a two-fold purpose; firstly it acts as an information point
for church members and secondly it's a shop-front window to
anyone dropping by who is considering church, perhaps for the
first time.
And
if you're in that second category, we'd love to see you! Maybe
you're a 'weddings and funerals' sort of person or even have
negative views of church, and need to be convinced otherwise.
In fact, whatever your position, we invite you to pay us a visit.
As
well as a Sunday morning service we have lots of other things
going on such as a children's club, home groups, social events,
concerts etc. You can check out what is happening via the diary
section at the foot of the page.

Latest
TFC news and updates
Tomorrow
- Sunday (September 7) - our special guest is the
ex-Wolves and Ipswich Town defender Derek Jefferson.
Derek will be sharing about his football career and
his life story, and most importantly how his life was changed
when he started to walk God's way instead of his own. The
meeting is open to all and we are inviting people to wear
their favourite football shirts, particularly if they are
old gold and black, although we are a very tolerant church
and even allow blue and white stripes in if we are pushed.
The meeting starts at 10.30 am and you can find details via
the 'Directions' section at the base of this page. It would
be great to see you!

The
very first Krafty Klass last night went very
well and everyone is looking forward to the next one already.
As a sign of just how far TFC has come on, we had more people
at church last night than we sometimes used to get on a Sunday
morning two years ago!

number of dates for the October programme have

Tipton
Family Church FC went head-to-head with Juaniche
Wanderers last night, who were the strong pre-season favourites
to win the league. We found ourselves down at half-time 3-1
but we bounced back to get a well-deserved draw. You can check
out the video here
and at the same time listen to a great track from the new
Casting Crowns CD. You can visit the league site here.
