Bring a friend, connect that friend… for who knows, you might change the course of your friend’s life forever! Our Leadership Team pastors spill the beans on who brought them to church and set them up for a date with Destiny.

My sister invited me to Trinity in 1985 when I stagnated in

my spiritual walk. She had been coming to Trinity for a few months and shared with me her wonderful experience in Trinity. That got me all excited to come and see it for myself. On my first visit, I felt the presence of God in a way which I had not experienced before. That kept me coming back to enjoy the vibrant and intimate worship with God. I started attending classes and cells, which further integrated me into the life of the church. The people in the Trinity were very warm and friendly, and helped me to feel part of this large family. I decided to get water baptised in Trinity and have been a member ever since!
