A Note from Pastor Tommy Cruz Contrary to public opinion, growing spiritually doesn’t happen by just knowing what Jesus says. It happens when we apply what He says. Application happens best within the context of community (aka a Life Group). To grow spiritually you have to be connected relationally. That’s why we offer Life Groups at Trinity!

A Life Group is a group of three or more people who gather each week in a home, public place, workplace, or on-campus. In a group you’ll hang out, study the Word, pray together, and build relationships.

We have groups for all walks of life – married couples, young families, singles, men’s, women’s, prime timers, prayer groups, study groups, athletic groups - the list goes on!

Join a group today, make some new friends, and see how God uses this group of people to help you grow spiritually.

Connect People – Changing Lives,
