Equipping Students through Service
We are making some major changes in Talents For Christ to strengthen and improve the program and include more students.
> Including 9th graders in Scholarship competition
> Initiating TFC Open, a non-scholarship division for students in grades 9-12
> Adding three new Open categories–art, digital media, and vocal duet
In addition, we are providing for a comprehensive participation packet for pastors and youth leaders.
Online information and registration will be available in December. Start talking to the students in you church about becoming involved in TFC this year.
