Outreach
At Tenerife Family Church, what happens on Sundays is only the beginning.
We’re actively reaching thousands each week through a wide range of outreach ministries that go far beyond our Sunday gatherings.
There is a deep need across the island, and we’re passionate about meeting it. Our heart is simple: “Love God, Love People.” We believe the love of Christ has the power to transform lives, families, and entire communities.
That’s why we teach, equip, and release people to bring God’s love into everyday situations — walking alongside the broken, sharing hope, and making Jesus known throughout Tenerife.
she
SHE supports vulnerable women in need, often in the case of domestic violence. Sadly, this is a major issue on the island due to the dysfunctional nature of many living here. SHE provides a confidential phone line that any woman can call and share their needs; the trained team then tries to meet those needs in the name of the love of Jesus, offering practical advice, support and friendship. Not only are the team able to contact the appropriate authorities and offices needed but they often support the women through the entire legal process. SHE hopes to see lives not just helped but transformed by the love of Jesus.

funeral & memorial services
Our Pastors are often booked by locals to lead these services and it has become a big part of Pastor Bill's regular work, largely as a result of the personal relationships he has built in the community over the last 20 years. It is challenging work, and the island's propensity to addiction leads to many on the island losing loved ones in very tragic circumstances, this does, however, open a door for Pastor Bill to get alongside broken, grieving families to comfort and support them and show them the love of Christ. How God has moved in some of these sad situations is truly miraculous. (Similarly, wedding blessings and dedications are services which have also allowed us to build relationships and share with local people).
These services can be live-streamed via YouTube for friends and family who are not able to make it to Tenerife in time for the funeral as funerals in Tenerife are carried out within 48-72 hours. (Ask Pastor Bill for costs and availability)
community contact
We train our church people to be missionary-minded within their spheres of influence which means that many people from Tenerife Family Church go out and meet up with people to get alongside them and share their faith. Not only does this mean we are constantly stepping into messy, broken lives to help, encourage and support people but it also means we get to pray and talk about Jesus! What God is doing in the lives of people is so exciting and we are seeing incredible fruit. We are known in our communities which means we often get called when people hit rock bottom or are in the middle of a desperate situation and its an honour to serve Christ here in this way.
connect groups
Many of our connect groups have an evangelistic side aiming to build friendships with people outside the church family as well as within. Messy Church, Butterfly Connections, Little Angels and Craft Mornings have all seen God reach out to people who have no other church connection.
alpha
We regularly run Alpha Groups where we can invite people with whom we have contact through our outreach ministries or friends and family who have questions about God and are curious to know more.
Live streamers
We welcome those who join us online from Tenerife and around the world. Our live streams allow you to be part of worship, teaching, and fellowship wherever you are. Whether you’re away or unable to attend in person, you can still connect with the Tenerife Family Church community.
Baptisms
We offer baptisms for new believers and for those wishing to reaffirm their commitment to God. It’s a powerful step of faith and public declaration of following Jesus. Our baptisms are celebrated with joy, surrounded by the love and support of our church family.
deliverance
Our deacons and ministry team walk alongside those facing spiritual battles and life challenges. Through the power of the Holy Spirit and the truth of God’s Word, we minister freedom and hope. We believe no situation is beyond God’s ability to transform.
prayer
We have dedicated prayer warriors ready to listen to your requests and stand with you in prayer. Whether you need healing, deliverance, or blessings, we will lift your needs before God. We believe in the power of prayer to bring peace, breakthrough, and restoration.
Bible institute of the canary islands
The Bible Institute of the Canary Islands is a strategic training center aimed at equipping pastors and church leaders to serve in the region's unreached areas, where many communities still lack access to evangelical teaching and pastoral support It plays a key role in supporting initiatives like 'Target 26,' which focuses on planting churches and training leaders across Tenerife’s 26 Through this institute, the church is investing in local leadership and spiritual growth, ensuring a strong foundation for expanding the gospel in the Canary Islands.
Food ministry
At Tenerife Family Church, our Food Ministry is about caring for both body and soul. Many of our members bring food from home, often with extra to bless others in the church family and local community. Through these shared meals and groceries, we ensure no one goes without, while also creating opportunities for fellowship, encouragement, and showing God’s love in action.
