"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.

Galatians 6:1-2 (NIV)
1Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. 2Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
100 Trinity Men does not mean the TMBC Men's Fellowship is limited to 100 Men. It's about building a ministry of believers who strive to strengthen Christian Faith. It's about developing and expressing a personal desire for spiritual growth with a solid foundation of Sunday School, Bible Study, Men's Retreats, Prayer Meetings, Christian Education Classes, Monthly Fellowship and theological study via the Church Library.
It is through this foundation coupled with our love of God, that whether it be 10, 50, 100 or 500 men, Trinity Missionary Baptist Church can count on 100 Trinity Men to be mobilized to promote the kingdom
The Word of Life
1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 2The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. 3We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 1 John 1:1-3 (NIV)
Foundations and Pillars
What We Do
The group shares experience, testimony and talent to help support the spiritual and educational needs of men. We provide a warm and friendly fellowship for men to feel comfortable, welcome and willing to relax, be themselves and have fun with Christian men of like minds. We also provide a forum for Christian service to our congregation and the community by providing and serving food and clothing to the needy and conducting mentoring activities for youth and children. We are some of God's good men seeking to join the kingdom of God by putting feet on our faith.

The program conducts twice monthly, Saturday morning sessions, on a variety of topics pertinent to the development of young males. Most sessions will be held at the Trinity Missionary Baptist Church Family Life Center, 119-123 Wesson Street, Pontiac, Michigan. Sessions begin promptly at 9:00AM and end at 11:00AM
The curriculum
