Intrepid Debate Club
Murfreesboro
General Contact: Tracy Tinsley

Intrepid Speech and Debate Club of Christian Communicators of Middle Tennessee (CCMT) began four years ago in the living room of Ron and Malinda Tuggle. The club has evolved from a tiny group consisting of two of the Tuggle children and a couple of other homeschooled students learning about speech and debate to over two dozen policy and Lincoln-Douglas debaters in 2002-2003. Several members have competed at the national level of NCFCA tournaments and won, so competition is an important aspect of this club. The primary focus of Intrepid Speech and Debate Club, though, is to help strengthen homeschool students by providing an opportunity for our young people to sharpen critical thinking and analytical skills through speech and debate. This forum provides a platform to promote Godly character through the ability to articulate truth and defend our faith to the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our name, Intrepid, signifies warriors who are fearless, bold, and resolved as expressed in our motto: "Lord, grant Your servants that with all boldness, they may speak Your word" (Acts 4:29b).

We meet every Monday 2:00-4:30 PM at Grace Christian Assembly on Hazelwood in Smyrna, Tennessee.
