The people are often friendly and the gatherings are welcoming, but my concerns became apparent when I looked beyond that atmosphere. In my experience, weekend gatherings are heavily oriented toward being relevant and experientual to unbelievers and newcomers rather than deeper corporate discipleship of believers. Outreach is biblical, and unbelievers should be welcomed, but I question the balance. Scripture describes the gathered church as a place where believers are taught, encouraged, equipped, and built up in the faith. There is also no communion practiced in the main gatherings. I understand the church points to small groups as a place where communion can take place, but that raises questions when those groups can include unbelievers and be led by people with varying levels of biblical understanding. It also means access to communion can depend on whether someone is able to join a small group and whether that particular group practices it. Leaders receive training to lead groups, but I question the level of theological oversight and correct doctrine accountability when so much spiritual formation happens in decentralized groups. I also have concerns about pastoral leadership. The church has three locations, yet preaching is highly centralized around one primary pastor and broadcast across locations. Other leaders may have pastoral titles, but they do not regularly provide the primary teaching at those locations. I found it difficult to understand the elder structure and accountability surrounding senior leadership. Anothert concern is the $18 million BEYOND campaign. The campaign encourages families to consider "stored resources," including savings, real estate, personal possessions, and retirement accounts, and offers assistance facilitating gifts of property and stock. I am not claiming anyone is forced to give. I believe God may lead people to give sacrificially. My concern is whether equal emphasis is placed on biblical stewardship, providing for one's household, and planning wisely. Of the $18 million, 10% is designated for compassion efforts such as outreach and food distribution. Serving the broader community is valuable, but Scripture also calls us to provide for our households (1 Timothy 5:8). Be cautious and stay grounded in Scripture. Jesus warned against placing burdens on people that God has not placed on them, and He says, "My yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Giving and serving should flow from faith and grace, not become measures of whether we are faithful enough. The church is also called to uphold sound doctrine, teach Scripture faithfully, and guard against error. Christ has already accomplished our salvation on the cross. Test everything against God's Word, pray for wisdom, and hold fast to what is true. If Jesus said, "Feed my sheep," should the gathered church primarily be shaped around those outside the faith, or around building up Christ's sheep while welcoming those who are seeking Him? Life is hard, and we carry real burdens. When we gather, I want to know more of the God I serve, who He is, what He has said, and how He calls us to live. I do not need five steps to improve my circumstances or my relationships. I want to leave focused on Christ, not myself.

We bought Big D's fabulous ribs consistently & even celebrated our anniversaries there! I appreciated how The Well, through Trinity Church, merged Biblical principles in our community with purpose and love. Once Pastor Steve, however, moved all the adult and children teachings to a school; dedicating time and resources on building a brand new construction everything changed for the worse. I saw a big shift toward fund raising for the new church, instead of helping and empowering our community. It made me uncomfortable and sad and so we left. Our family, however, will always be grateful to the staff at The Well and will never forget their kindness and good works

We found that home in Trinity Community Church. The leadership embraced us, shortcomings and all. We were quickly offered opportunities to serve and to meet other members of the Trinity Family. Over the past two years, my husband and I have each developed meaningful friendships with other church members, and our grown daughters are treated like members of the family as well. No church is perfect - we're all just a bunch of broken people, after all. However, we find solid Biblical teaching, humility from the leadership, transparency from church leaders and members, and countless opportunities to serve make Trinity Community Church a haven for our us in a crazy world.
