The Town and Country Church Institute (TCCI) is a community of people who appreciate and study ministry in rural places, small towns and small churches–and who seek to understand that ministry in light of both their wits and their faith.

TCCI is a place to learn about and discuss current ministry issues, resources, opportunities for learning; signs of the kingdom; the struggle for justice for those sojourning in margins or being neglected; the misunderstandings and delusions of all us poor wayfaring strangers on earth; the surprising redemption of lowly sinners by a good and gracious God in Christ Jesus; the renewal of all creation each moment by the living spirit of God; and all related matters!

Behind it all is the effort to recognize, honor and uplift the ministry of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
