About

Welcome to Trinity on Fifth

We’re glad you’re here!  Our desire at Trinity on Fifth is for each person to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  We make it easy to step into and make progress on that lifelong journey.  We also have opportunities to meet new friends and make a difference in the community and the world.

Mission

To make it easy for people to know Christ, grow with friends, and impact the world around them.

Values

We have five core values that make it easy for us to stay on mission together as a church. We think of these values as a compass. In everything we do, they give us direction and help us stay true to who God has called us to be.

Timeless Truth

The Bible is our guide for daily living. We allow its truth to shape us and work to apply it in every situation—recognizing it has not lost an ounce of relevance or power in thousands of years.

Relatable Authenticity

God gives us all grace to be works in progress. None of us have arrived. When we are honest about how He is working in us, others can relate and step into that same, amazing grace.

Generation to Generation

The knowledge of God’s love is an inheritance we received from others. We deliberately invest our lives into those younger and older than us to create a legacy of faith together.

Strong Families

Children grow up fast. We help build strong families by investing in programming and relationships that support parents and help kids of all ages experience God’s love as they form lifelong friendships.

Beyond Ourselves

It is not all about us. We give generously, befriend others, meet the needs of those around us, and seek ways to impact our community and our world with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
