The Structure of TAPAC

TAPAC, a visionary organisation, emerged in the twentieth century. According to the organisation's handbook, TAPAC was founded in 1993. By the grace of God, the organisation has come this far. Although the organisation has come this far, it has not been smooth. We have gone through waves and storms, but we are still standing by God’s grace.

TAPAC is an organisation that has gone viral worldwide with a good reputation and respect for its members. So, we are proud and rejoiced to be members of TAPAC. Our late founder and president, Archbishop Dr Jubameeta Paul Hackman, as well as others who came before us, did their part to set up this organisation. It is our time to continue; hence, we are doing the best we can to preserve the glory of this outstanding organisation and propel the Alliance forward. We collaborated to rebuild, restructure, and revitalise the organisation.

TAPAC has a vision, mission and objective. To achieve our objectives, we bring in new plans, new ideas, and new strategies to overcome every weakness to achieve our goals. We ensure that positions are given to individuals who have the skills to do the job, or we offer them training to equip such individuals to function well to move the organisation forward and achieve our objectives.

Charity Committee 
As there is a saying, charity begins at home. The welfare committee would set up a welfare fund that will be partly funded by TAC main account and fundraising events. They will set up a charity committee. The charity committee will write letters to organisations, firms, companies, and factories to appeal for aid. 

Through the charity committee work, we would be able to reach more countries, by giving aid to the needy and supporting individual churches. The approach taken by  missionaries many many years ago when they brought the gospel to Africa and other third world countries. 

Looking after and giving to others, in the form of charity, is very important, as we believe that God gave humans stewardship. This means humans are responsible for looking after one another and supporting and protecting those in need. As all humans are equal in the eyes of God, anyone in need is deserving of help. Apostle Paul taught that love is the greatest spiritual gift of all. Many believers take this to mean that they should strive to show love towards others. Apostle Paul stated that: And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13
