Ministries of Trinity Church - Teaneck, Bergenfield, Bogota, Leonia, Ridgefield Park

I'm Pastor Lorenz of Trinity Church. How do I explain Trinity? Trinity Church is about helping people find Jesus. Jesus values people and encourages us to reach our God-given potential. At Trinity we too value people and try to encourage each other to reach our God-given potential. We help people learn how to live by the supernatural power of God's Spirit so that we can overcome the negative influences in the world. At Trinity we preach and teach God's message the Bible which guides us in our everyday life.

Trinity Church is also about community. We all have a basic need to belong. In his book Motivation and Personality psychologist Abraham Maslow wrote that all people have a "hunger for contact, for intimacy, for belongingness." God created us to need each other and to live in community with others. At Trinity Church we try to meet this need by being a loving community. We try to be a community--a family--where a person can feel loved, accepted, and affirmed. Another way that we try to be a loving community is in our small groups. Real community happens best in small groups of loving and caring relationships. If you're looking for a great place to belong, then come and get involved in one of our small groups.

Trinity Church is about faith. We are a believing people. We believe that the Bible is the word of God. We believe that Jesus is the way to God. We believe that all people are alienated from God because of disobedience, but God made a way to get back to God and that way is Jesus. We believe that peace with God comes only by faith in Jesus who is God's one and only son. We believe that when a person puts his or her faith in Jesus, they become a child of God forever and will never again be separated from his love.

Trinity is about much more than what I've shared in these few paragraphes, but the only way to truly find out what we're like is to visit during our 10:45 Sunday morning worship service. I hope that you can come and see what God is doing at Trinity. Or if you're too far away to drive to our church, you can find another Bible-believing church in your community where you can worship God. May God bless you as you seek him.
