What we believe!

True Light International Church exists to glorify God by teaching the Word of God and making disciples who, Reach Up, Reach In, and Reach Out.

Our Core Values Acts 2:44 captures one of the great principles of the Christian church as it says, “And all who believed were together and had all things in common.” While we esteem and celebrate the uniqueness of every member at True Light International Church, we unashamedly value six core areas in the life of our church. Together, these shared values identify who we are, rally us toward all that we desire to accomplish, and unite us in fellowship.
