Once upon a time, there was a community of people who were fully devoted to their Lord, and to each other as they lived out their faith practically and authentically each day. A community who was concerned about the spiritual condition of those who did not know Jesus as Lord and Savior. A community who gathered together joyfully to worship God and fellowship with one another in an atmosphere of genuine love, service and unity. A community who shared an open honesty and acceptance toward one another, and their neighbors, without regard to race, social status, or personal circumstances. A community who freely ministered and gave to one another according to those who had need. Sometimes the need involved food and money, other times simple caring and encouragement. It was a period of time known as the 1st Century AD. and the community was the early Christian Church. We have a dream of beginning a new church like that….glorifying God by reaching people with the Gospel, making disciples, ministering to those who have needs in our community. We are the Trinity Family…Come Grow With Us.
Our Philosophy:
We believe that the Local New Testament Church is God’s only program for this age. Jesus said that He will build His church. (Matt. 16:18) A study of the book of Acts reveals that the church was fundamental to the early believers. (Acts 2:47; Acts 11:26; Acts 13:1-3) I believe that all ministries should be under the auspices of the local church. Paul states that the church is the pillar and ground of the truth. (I Tim. 3:15)
We believe that the single most effective means of evangelism is establishing new churches. Thus, we have an awesome responsibility to plant local churches all over the world. Indeed, the Great Commission is fulfilled by churches reproducing themselves. (Acts 13:1-3) It is without exception that Trinity Baptist Church will be involved with the cause of planting churches all over the world.
We believe that missionaries are helping the church to accomplish the Great Commission. So, churches should be grateful and count it a privilege to send missionaries to the field. Positively, the mission of the church is missions. Therefore, individuals and churches who invest in the ministry of Trinity Baptist Church are helping us to help them reach the world for Christ. Thus, our personality statement shall be:
Help us help you reach the world for Christ
The Word of God is the only authority for faith and practice. The church is built upon the principles of the Word of God with Jesus Christ as the head. (Col. 1:18)
Our Philosophy Statement
A Great Commitment To The
Great Commandments and the Great
Commission Will Grow A Great Church.
The Great Commandments
Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Matt. 22:36-40
The Great Commission
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Matt. 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Matt. 28:18-20
