About Trinity Temple
At Trinity Temple, we are ordinary people living an extraordinary story together.
We have a place for you and your family
- A church where you can begin your personal spiritual journey.
- A safe space for your children to learn Christian principles.

Trinity Temple is a life-giving church that equips people to carry the love of God outside the walls of the church and to demonstrate Christ’s Kingdom through our daily lives.
A multigenerational, cutting edge congregation, known for pastoring the community, enriching the neighborhood, and authentically representing Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God.
God wants a relationship with you.
Worship Experience
God wants to know us personally. More than just practicing religion, He wants a relationship with us. Our weekend services are where we focus on that relationship. Whether you’re new to the faith, have questions, or have been a Christian for a long time, our services are a safe place to learn more about what it means to Know God and grow closer to Him.
Discover your purpose.
Discovery Track
Everyone, at some point, wonders who they are because it determines how we see ourselves. We know people come to church with many identities– some positive, some negative.
Our goal is for you to see yourself the way God sees you. Jesus, the Son of God, taught that we are children who are valued, forgiven and loved unconditionally in God’s eyes. We want you to think, trust and live knowing that you are a child of the Most High God so that you experience the goodness purposed for you here and now.
This is a place where you can find community.
Connect Groups
If you’ve been going through the motions and wishing for more, you’re not alone. Every person has a need to connect with something greater than themselves and with other people who are working to Make a Difference in the world.
Jesus invites us into a new reality called “The Kingdom of God.” It looks like ordinary people living out an extraordinary story together.
Your life can make a difference.
Serve Team
Our mission at Trinity Temple is to guide you in building a personal relationship with God. As you grow in this relationship, you’ll continually find more freedom in Christ and embrace the vision He has for your life.
You’ll develop meaningful connections with others in the same season of life. You’ll make a difference in the world by serving others with your God-given strengths.
