We are a redeemed-family that exist to proclaim the King so that all may know eternal life!
Why South Dallas?
Growing up, South Dallas is where my family and I went for fun. Places like the State Fair of Texas and Black Jack’s Pizza were routinely on our list. We loved exiting on Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard at night while staring at the flashy lights of the historic ferris wheel. In the early 2000's we visited Lincoln High School to support our city’s very own Chris Bosh as he made his rise to NBA stardom. But things like this only highlight the bright side. South Dallas is also arguably the city's central location for all things pertaining to Civil Rights. Dallas residents squirm as they consider the broken past of the State Fair's racial strife. The area where we are planting, has in its history the reality of being bombed in the 1940's by whites who were angered at the notion of blacks owning houses. The areas that we are hoping to reach, for example, neighborhoods such as Bonton and South Oak Cliff, are prime locations for our efforts of rekindling evangelism and discipleship.
I also see young men, women and families in desperate need of a hope that surpasses their city block. We, the church, must seize this opportunity to ensure that God, his gospel and the church’s influence continues to reach our culture with the realities of God’s kingdom. Our burden to proclaim the King of Life is shared by many in DFW and we're honored to join the ranks of the faithful saints who've gone before us in gospel ministry.
Please join us as we by God’s grace proclaim our Savior-King so that eternal life covers the community of South Dallas! Pray for us, contribute generously with financial gifts and last but not least, come share your life with others. God is on the move!

Our Values
before God
This idea of living in God's presence isn't new. Theologians of a past era understood this to mean that we literally live our lives in God's presence. He himself is holy. If we take this seriously this means our holy God sees us as we live in spiritual light or darkness.
This is why at TGC we call people to a holy life. God's desire for us is that we would live our lives set apart for him. Without holiness no one will see the Lord (Heb 12:14). At TGC we have made it our life's ambition to be distinct as God's holy people.
He has called us to himself and we delight to live in his presence (Ps 96:9; 1 Pet 1: 15-16).
in God
The world we live in is often filled with dark nights of the soul and suffering. We don't deny that. We face those times with our hope continually set and reset on our God (Rom 5:3-5). His Spirit abides with us and carries us through life's various seasons. If we are honest we also know that other things can subtly displace our hope. But we agree with the old hymn, "Our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness."
Our hope in this life in light of the one to come is God (Titus 1:2).
for God
At TGC we believe our greatest desire is to have more of God. Temporary earthly fixes can't ultimately satisfy our hearts. We were created to enjoy and desire God. However, our ongoing battle with sin enables this ability to pursue God as our greatest need. We acknowledge that our spiritual hungers and thirsts have gone astray and we need God to remedy that (Jer 2:13; Jn 6:35). The Psalmist rightly said, "Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire but you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever (Ps 73:25-26)." In other words, we realize that our earthly needs are important but having God is more important (Mk 8:36).
By God's grace in Jesus we will continually come to Him who satisfies our souls!

Hope in God
The world we live in is often filled with dark nights of the soul and suffering. We don't deny that. We face those times with our hope continually set and reset on our God (Rom 5:3-5).

By God's grace in Jesus we will continually come to Him who satisfies our souls!
Holistic Discipleship throughout Life
Discipleship is about following Jesus and seeing to it that our lives conform to his (Rom 12:2). As we walk with the Lord as his disciples we desire with Moses that our lives would be a demonstration of a heart of wisdom (Ps 90:12). We want hearts that reflect a thorough commitment to Jesus’ word and all that he taught (Matt 28:16-20). We also understand that discipleship is not just a one time event. As we grow in grace, we have settled our commitment to be with him forever (Col 1:29; 3:3-4).

Randle Bishop
Pastor
Randle was born at St. Paul hospital which is now UT Southwestern in Dallas, Texas. However, he was raised in Lewisville, Texas just 30 minutes north of Downtown Dallas. After graduating from Lewisville High School he briefly attended Texas Southern University. During this time is when Randle met Jesus the King of life. After hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ, Randle made a radical 180-degree turn from spiritual darkness to light!
Randle attended and graduated from Moody Bible Institute in 2011 where he met his wife, Matina. The two have been married for 10 years and have four wonderfully-energetic children. For his last two years in Chicago he served as one of the pastors of Immanuel Baptist Church where they ordained and sent him out for the work of church planting in 2019.
By God's grace in Jesus Christ he hopes to see South Dallas experience afresh eternal life through the Savior-King!
