    "Exalting the Savior, Equipping the Saints & Evangelizing the Sinner"

    Ephesians 4:10-15

    He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.

  • The services were held at 3 p.m. Sundays, a time when the white congregation wasn't using the building.
  • Before the end of December 1917, the doors of Memorial Baptist Church were closed to the Negro Christians due to a fuel shortage.
  • Through nearly a century of existence, Trinity Church today still reflects the tenets of it's church founders: Worship, Discipleship, Fellowship with all of the honor, glory, and praise to the one true God...
