Vision, Mission & Objectives

The vision of TCNA is of a new world system where heaven and earth are one. Further, the vision is of an inter-dependent community formed from the tapestry of our individual and collective experiences that fosters both an embodied spirituality and epistemology as pathways to establishing a new world system in which all may share in the fullness of life. 

The mission of TCNA is to interactively encourage and challenge members to make meaningful impact on the lives of people in our communities, to transform minds, body and souls. We strive to no longer conform to the old system, but to transform to a place of trust, wholeness and holiness; (a) to declare the unlimited and irrevocable love we call Christ – The Universal Source understood to be the Life Principle – which is also known by many different names (God, Nature, Buddha, The Universe, Universal Mind, Universal Consciousness, etc.); (b) to be the Christ here on earth through acts of justice and compassion; (c) for the education of the whole person so that together we shall transform ourselves and our world. 

The objectives of TCNA are three-fold: (1) Spiritual Development; (2) Personal Development; and (3) Community-Economic Development.
