Ten Good Reasons to Make Trinity Gospel Church your church!

1. We are a Bible-believing church
   We take the Bible as our rule of faith and life. It is true in every word. Jesus said that every letter was true. It is inspired of God and trustworthy when it speaks of salvation, morality, history, and science. We reject Theological Liberalism on the basis of scripture. The Bible is true taken in a normal sense.
2. We are a Bible preaching church
   The messages on Sunday are Bible messages, not just interesting stories. We emphasize expository Bible teaching. We study verse by verse  through books of the Bible or take important topics and bring the light of the Bible to bear on them. Our Sunday School classes teach the Bible. We learn Bible memory verses.
3. We are a friendly church
   You will find a church home here. We operate on trust and love to build up each believer in the Lord. We try to reflect the love of Christ and to minister the encouragement and comfort of the Holy Spirit.
4. We are a praying church
   You will find prayer for your needs. We pray in the services. We have a special prayer meeting on Wednesday. We believe in prayer and bring the needs of our fellow believers before the throne of grace where we are invited to come and where God hears our prayers and answers them.
5. We are an evangelistic church
   The Lord has commissioned us to reach the lost and teach them the way of salvation by grace through faith. We have outreach through visitation, Bible studies, literature distribution, children’s ministries, and community outreach events. Each member is encouraged to use  his or her gifts to point others to Christ.
6. We minister to the whole family
   Each person is important to us. That is why we have a nursery and kids classes in Sunday School every Sunday morning. We also have Youth meeting for teens every Wednesday and Bible studies for adults throughout the week. In addition, we have an addictions program every Friday night for your support for any hang-up or trial you may be facing. There is a place for each member of your family here!
7. We are not a legalistic church
   Salvation is by grace alone with no works mixed in nor required. Jesus paid our full price for redemption and saves us when we put our faith in Him. Salvation cannot be, and need not be, maintained by works either. We are kept by grace. We are saved unto good works and do them freely and willingly. The Lord changes our hearts.
8. We are an independent church
   We are not bound by any denominational connections or guidelines. We are free to obey just what the Bible says without any constraint or compulsion. We generally hold to a Baptistic type of doctrine and are willing to answer any questions that you might have.
9. We emphasize Bible prophecy
   We are looking for Jesus to come back as He said. One third of the Bible verses are prophetic in nature and we do not shy away from a literal interpretation of the second coming, the tribulation, and the millennial kingdom of Christ.
10. We practice equality of believers
    All Christians are of equal standing in the eyes of God. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, slave nor free. We do not believe in a clergy class. We all, as equals, gather around the Word of God to see what it says to us. Won’t you join with us in following Jesus together?

The Bible has much to say about Heaven and Hell. The truth is that Jesus spoke more of hell than he did of heaven. Why? Perhaps he loves us enough to tell us the truth and warn us of the judgment to come!

We all like the thought which a popular book promotes: “Heaven is for Real.” However, there is a flip side to that coin: Hell is for real, too. Just think about it logically. The existence of a heaven demands the existence of a hell, otherwise what is the point? The reality of goodness implies the reality of evil. When we point up, we attempt to make the distinction from what is down. When we talk of “good news,” we admit there can be “bad news.”

Let’s look at the “good news” and the “bad news” as found in the Bible:

First, the Bad News:

1. You are a lost sinner.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” (Romans 3:23 KJV)
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8 KJV)

2. The price of your sin is the wrath of God.
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,” (Romans 1:18 KJV)
“the soul that sinneth, it shall die.” (Ezekiel 18:4 KJV)

3. You cannot save yourself.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:” (Ephesians 2:8 KJV)
“Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.” (Romans 3:20 KJV)

Now, the good news:

1. Jesus paid for your sin.
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:” (1 Peter 3:18 KJV)
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8 NKJV)

2. Only Jesus can save you.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6 KJV)
“Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”” (Acts 4:12 NKJV)

3. You can be saved by believing (completely depending) on Jesus.
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,” (Acts 16:31 KJV)
“He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” (John 3:18 KJV)

The Bible has much more to say about this topic, but these are some basic truths that everyone must understand. No doubt, you have more questions and we would love to talk with you more. Give us a call or send us and email any time!
