Make a DIFFERENCE
...on a SERVE TEAM
God's ultimate plan for our life is to make a difference in the lives of others. When we serve others, the Bible says it bring us joy. We hope to connect you to an opportunity to live out your calling, using your gifts and talents to serve others in the church and our community.
Vision
Trinity aspires to be a multi-racial, multi-generational congregation of Spirit-empowered believers fulfilling our God-given mission in our community and world.
BELIEFS
+ We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God (2 Timothy 3:15-17).
+ We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy
Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Luke 3:21,22).
+ We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His atoning
death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His future return to this earth
in power and glory (John 1:1; Matthew 1:23; 1 Peter 2:22).
+ We believe although created good and upright, mankind transgressed God's command and fell into a condition
of moral and spiritual depravity (Genesis 3:6; Romans 5:12-19).
+ We believe the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of
Jesus (Luke 24:47; Romans 5:6-17). When an individual repents of sin and trusts Jesus as Savior, the Holy Spirit
comes into that individual and he/she is born again (John 3:3; 2 Corinthians 5:17). The indwelling presence of
the Holy Spirit enables the believer to live a holy life (Romans 8; Galatians 5:16-18).
+ We believe the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is given to born again believers as empowerment for Christian
service (Acts 1:8). This experience is accompanied with speaking in tongues and other supernatural
manifestations (Acts 2:1-4; 1 Corinthians 12:7-11).
+ We believe the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing for the human body in answer to
believing prayer (Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew 8:16, 17; James 5:14).
+ We believe Christ instituted two ordinances for the Church: The Lord's Supper and water baptism by
immersion (1 Corinthians 11:26; Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4.
+ We believe our blessed hope is the rapture of the church at Christ's coming (1 Thessalonians 4:16,17).
+ We believe in the final resurrection of all the dead: the saved to eternal life and the lost to the judgement of
God (Revelation 20:4-6; 11-15).
HISTORY
Discover PURPOSE
...at GROWTH TRACK
We're all an important part of God's plan, and our life will never make sense until we discover our purpose. The Trinity Growth Track is designed to help discover our divine design and giftings.
Find FREEDOM
...in SMALL GROUPS
One of the ways God designed for us to live in freedom is to have people in our life to help us on the journey. Connecting with others in small groups is a practical and enjoyable way to build life-changing relationships.
Know GOD
...through WORSHIP SERVICES & PERSONAL DEVOTION
God wants to know us personally. More than just practicing religion, He wants a relationshipship with us. Out worship services are where we focus on that relationship. Whether you're new to the faith, have questions, or have been following Jesus for a long time, our services are a safe place to get to know God better and grow closer to Him.
Trinity Church is people—people whose highest purpose is to know God, and then to translate that love into caring relationships with each other, through which we find freedom from the baggage of our past. As we discover God's purpose for our lives we our focus becomes all about making a difference in the lives of others everywhere we go. People of all races and denominations are welcome among us. We are contemporary, so as to be relevant to our culture, yet uncompromising in our commitment to the Bible as our standard for life.
