The Church Channel (TCC) is a Christian television network owned by Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). It broadcasts church service programs 24 hours per day, 7 days a week from several of America’s leading churches, representing several Christian denominations, as well as independent and non-denominational churches.

The network's programming consists of Christian worship services, 90% of which must be of an instructional, evangelistic or ministerial nature. The network puts strict guidelines on fundraising and other announcements, limiting them to 10% of the program. [1] The Church Channel encourages churches to submit recordings of their services with the intent of putting them on the air.

The Church Channel is available through various cable services nationwide, on digital subchannel X.2 in areas of the United States with a TBN DTV station, and in many nations around the world via direct-to-home satellite, such as the free-to-air Intelsat Americas 5. The network is also available via streaming video on their official website.
