Recent News & Photos Mid-Autumn Festival Thank You A heart-felt thank you to church volunteers who came, served, and helped out at the Mid-Autumn celebration! Because of you and God s blessing, we had another successful outreach event of 600+ people in attendance. The Arizona Chinese News (a local Chinese newspaper with 10k Asian readership) reported our event with high praises. We received many compliments and thanks from the community - Tri-City is known as the Americans that love on us among the Asians. We are looking forward to starting an Asian Ministry Bible Study on October 22 during PMD time on Sunday evenings. Many thanks for your partnership and for your continued prayers to lift up our mission field right here among us. 2211 W Germann Rd Chandler, AZ 85286 (480) 245-7900 facebook.com/ TriCityBaptistMinistries info@tricityministries.org TriCityMinistries.org If you have personal needs, requests, or blessings you wish to share with the pastoral staff, please send them to info@tricityministries.org.
