What is TCTC?
The Triangle Conference on Theology & Culture (TCTC) is a new initiative for the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. The mission of TCTC is to connect Christians in our region by hosting events with local and national thought-leaders equipping those who attend for cultural engagement from a biblical worldview that is thoughtful, compassionate, and transformative.
Triangle Grace Church in Durham, NC is currently the primary sponsor of TCTC.
Justice, Mercy & borders
June 26-27, 2026
Hosted at Triangle Grace Church
5001 Tudor Place Durham, NC
Join us as we explore complexities associated with immigration from a Christian perspective seeking to both respect civil leadership while responding compassionately to those in need seeking relief and opportunity. Daniel Yang will lead us in reflecting on faith-based values such as justice, mercy, lawful governance, hospitality, witness, and human dignity associated with immigration in a broken world.
Attendees will leave equipped with theological insight and practical tools to serve immigrant communities honoring Christ’s call to love our neighbors. Together, we seek a gospel-centered vision that bridges righteousness and grace across cultural and national boundaries.
