Trinity Church is about helping people find Jesus. Jesus values people and encourages us to reach our God-given potential. By the supernatural power of his divine Spirit, Jesus enables us to overcome the negative influences of our humanity. Through the circumstances of life Jesus is able to get our attention and help us to see our need for God. And by his eternal word Jesus guides us to the pure light of truth and leads us to humble ourselves before him in worship and adoration.
Trinity Church is 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 recognize this fundamental human need and try to meet this need by being a loving community. Jesus instructed all his followers not only to love one another but to love even their enemies. In response to Jesus' instructions 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. 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.
