Funds are raised through:

Distribution of funds

TBC’s lead pastor, Ian Reid, manages relationships with those we are able to help financially and distributes food vouchers.

Led by Ps Ian Reid, the Explorers seek out the more that God has planned for us until we come to see Him face-to-face.

- More in our relationships with Him and with others.

- More to know and more to do.

- More ways to worship and to serve.

- More to pray about and more of His wonders to see.

People who attend the group are up for the adventure of exploring the unknown and for taking the risks of change that come when we step out in faith.

Group activities are as varied as its name and will include meeting together weekly at the Garratt Street Centre where the program is likely to include prayer, teaching sessions, and sharing our experiences and insights.

Key verses for the group are:

In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams [Acts 2:17.niv]

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.[ Proverbs 25:2 NIV]

All who are up for the adventure are welcome.

Kids' Church is a vital part of the church community.

We sing, play games, create craft, watch DVDs, discuss the Bible and pray together.

All children between ages 3 and 7 are welcome..

Kids' Church uses in the rooms named Kids' Space located on Level 1 of the Garratt St Centre.

Kids' Church operates each week during the teaching segment of the service during school term.

Those who work with children at Tuggeranong Baptist Church have a current Working with Vulnerable People registration and have attended a Creating Safe Spaces course.

The Op Shop's usual opening hours are 9:30 am to 2:00 pm, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Donations are only accepted when the shop is open or by special arrangement with the manager, Brenda White.

The Op Shop opened on 17 June 2010 and operated at the premises of the Tuggeranong Baptist Church, 33 Jenke Cct, Kambah until it was completely destroyed by fire on 17 June 2017 under the name of Seek'n'Find Op Shop. The volunteers immediately began to assemble a new stock of goods to be ready when the shop re-opened in temporary premises at the Wanniassa Shopping Centre in Sangster Place in October 2018. Here old and new connections were made with people who came to donate, to chat, to browse and to buy.

Leadership of the Op Shop ministry passed to Brenda White in March 2023.

The shop moved to the Garratt St Centre in October 2019 when the premises was purchased by Tuggeranong Baptist Church.

The efforts of the Op Shop contribute to the church's Community of Givers fund that provides support for financial needs, especially to sole parents.
