CAMPUS NEWS

SIGNAGE UPDATE

We’re moving forward with important updates to our campus signage to enhance hospitality and way-finding for first-time guests. Our new signage model will assign each building a simple, letter-based identifier to improve clarity and consistency.

Here’s what to expect:

• Building A: Formerly the Education Building, this space now houses our Scouts and other ministries. Renaming it will better reflect current and future use.
• Sanctuary: This space will retain its name as our primary worship area and a well-known landmark with its iconic Dickson Street steeple.
• Building B: The Wesley Building will become Building B.
• Building C: The current CAC, located at the center of campus and currently referred to by multiple names, will be renamed Building C.
• Building D: The Student Ministry Building—which also hosts our academy and functions as a multipurpose space—will be labeled Building D.

This transition will take place over the next several weeks. New signage will be installed gradually, and updated campus maps will be placed at all exit doors and online to help orient visitors.

Thank you for your patience and support as we make our campus more welcoming and accessible for all!

STEEPLE RENOVATION

Beginning June 18th, TCM is scheduled to begin work on repairing and painting our beautiful steeple, front pillars, and interior Sanctuary walls. So when you see scaffolding and other work going on, you'll know why. Exciting things coming!
