About

Our Vision

By setting the God inspired vision to words, TCDC seeks to create a mental picture of the organization by:

Reaching In To educate and develop the physical person (family) with tools that will stabilize them for future living

Reaching Out To bridge the gap between the church and the community. Ministering to the churched and the unchurched.

Reaching Up To provide a spiritual foundation for people to experience the presence of God on earth.

STAYING STRONG SINCE 2001

Established in 2001 and remaining true to its history and dedication to families, Tanner Chapel continues to foster an outreach ministry of care beyond its walls. TCDC's mission preserves family life by connecting with our community to improve lives through meeting spiritual, economical, educational, health and housing needs.

TCDC remains committed to ministering to the needs of the total community without regard to ethnicity and as a result has developed a long and rich history of service to all people of the metropolitan Phoenix area. TCDC, since its inception in 2001, has created comprehensive outreach programs to provide services for individuals and families in need.

TCDC provides programs and initiatives that produce outcomes in the community that changes peoples lives. Currently, each month, over one thousand bags of food are distributed to needy individuals and/or families.
