We recently launched a new website for TCC (see www.trinitycitychurch.org). Included in this new site is a new blog at www.trinitycitychurch.org/blog. TCC will no longer be using this WordPress blog.
Please check out the new site and blog, and continue to get updated there.
The Lord did amazing things this morning as we gathered for worship. Thank you to all who came out to show their support, and to those who may be checking out TCC for the first time. Also, thank you to those who have been supporting TCC over the last couple years to make this day possible. God brought much glory to himself today.
Pictures coming soon!

Thank you Trike for the continued support of TCC, and thank you Luke for sporting that T-shirt at Hope’s service!
Launch Day is 15 days away! TCC has two more preview services that will bring us to 10-10-10!
Preview Service
This summer, some of the Launch Team were able to travel to Chicago in order to be commissioned by one of our parent churches, Evanston Bible Fellowship. In addition, at the end of August, many from the Launch Team were at our other parent church, Hope Community Church, to be commissioned to launch TCC. This church plant is abundantly blessed by having two solid and supportive churches backing up this mission!
After EBF Commissioning Service
Our church exists to glorify Jesus by igniting a movement of the gospel for the joy of our city and all nations. We have a heart to reach the nations not only in our own city, but to go to other cities throughout the world. TCC has been living out this vision throughout this last year. For example, we have seen a nurse from TCC go to Haiti so that she could provide medical care after the earthquake. We also had an architect go out to help develop plans for a new hospital wing in Kenya.
Recently, Pastor Bryan also went on a two week trip to Nairobi, Kenya with the ministry Training Leaders International. Here is a short video highlighting his time there:
May the Lord continue to give those at TCC a passion for the glory of Jesus, his gospel, and people from all over the globe!
We have an exciting announcement! Trinity City Church has a building to do ministry from and to launch Sunday morning services at. The place is at 1849 Marshall Avenue in Saint Paul, which is where Church of the Good Shepherd (CGS) use to meet. We are transitioning into this building this summer, and will begin our weekly Sunday morning services here in the fall.
Starting this summer, we will be having various gatherings here. Here is a preview of what is coming up:
Praise and thank the Lord for providing a building right in the heart of our community! May this place be used to glorify Jesus by igniting a movement of the gospel for the joy of our city and all nations!
Ryan Thom has been given the opportunity to both start seminary at Bethlehem, and to start a ministry position with the North Central District (NCD), EFCA as an Urban Missionary along with his wife. Starting today, Ryan and Carrie will begin their work as Urban Missionaries with the NCD, which entails being equipped and coached in gospel-driven care and compassion for the needs of the most vulnerable people in the Twin Cities. On August 20th, Ryan will officially begin seminary and greater involvement with the ministry of Bethlehem while serving as an Urban Missionary.
Between June 1st and August 20th, the Thoms will still be somewhat involved with the life of TCC. In particular, Ryan will continue to help us transition musically as part of his duties as an Urban Missionary. The Thoms plan to cultivate relationships with the current Launch Team as much as possible while at Bethlehem’s seminary and ministry, and while serving as Urban Missionaries.
Please pray for both TCC and the Thom family as he transitions out of TCC and into seminary, another church community and a new ministry role with the NCD.
Anyone is welcome to join Trinity City Church as we gather for a Sunday evening service on Pentecost at 1982 Iglehart Avenue in Saint Paul. Childcare is provided.
This day in the church calendar celebrates the event in Acts 2 where the Lord ignited THE movement of the gospel that spreads to this day. We are a part of this movement, and this service will be a significant time in our church and in our mission to spread the gospel for a three reasons:
First, this service will be our last evening gathering at this location. Next month we are moving our monthly services and church body to the building we will be starting weekly morning gatherings in, which leads to the second point.
Two, at this gathering we will announce the TCC’s new location. We are excited that the Lord has given us a place for ministry. This summer, we will have monthly services at this location, start weekly services in September, and celebrate our official Launch Service on 10-10-10.
Finally, we have been preaching through a series called “God’s Glory in His Story: How God Shows Himself off in Jesus from Genesis to Revelation.” Since November, this series has been walking through the pages of the Old Testament. The sermon at this gathering will be our last passage from the Old Testament as the story of Scripture prepares for the climax of the entire Bible, the coming of the Messiah Jesus.
Anyone is welcome to join us this evening at Church of the Good Shepherd (1849 Marshall Avenue in Saint Paul) for a Concert of Prayer. We are joining with people from churches around the Twin Cities to pray for God’s kingdom to come, and his will to be done in our city.
