Since 2007, Trinity’s mission has been to make disciples who exalt Jesus Christ and honor God's word in everything they say and do. Our four-part strategy invites people to COME to Christ, to GROW in their faith, to SERVE Him by serving others, and REACH those outside the church with the good news of Jesus. We are committed to the pursuit of building multi-ethnic, multi-generational congregations that reflect the communities around us and pursue unity in Christ. Trinity Church is one church with seven locations across the globe, averaging around 2,000 each Sunday for in-person attendance.
