A: Triangle Community Church was founded in 1992 with four families and a dream: the dream of sharing God’s love with those in the Research Triangle and beyond. In the early months, founders Doug Humphrey and Buddy Walters met weekly in a home with a core group of believers committed to this dream.
The pastors focused on helping men, women, and children understand the Bible and apply its timeless truths to their everyday lives. With a mix of relevant teaching and contemporary music, the church soon attracted more families and outgrew the living room so they began meeting in various rented school facilities. While the worship service grew, small groups also met regularly to encourage true fellowship and connections among members.
With so many ministries flourishing, church members rallied to finance the construction of a permanent home for TCC. In April 2003, the church moved into a new building at 4216 Kildaire Farm Road in Apex, NC. This 17,000 square foot multipurpose building fulfills Phase I, with future facilities now in the planning stages.
In September 2003, Pastor Buddy Walters unexpectedly went to be with the Lord. Through a shared experience of grieving Buddy’s loss, while eagerly embracing his vision, TCC has emerged stronger and even more committed to reaching the Triangle, one home at a time.
