"King Me!"
1 Samuel 8:1-22
Pastor Bryan Eckelmann
“We want a King!” The leaders of the tribes of Israel wanted to change their government. They begged, pleaded, and insisted. This is a story of envying what others have rather than cherishing what we have. It’s a story of wanting (and trusting) a visible strongman over the Invisible God of the Universe.
As Christians, our deliverance, identity and destiny are found not in this world or its leaders, but in the unique and incomparable God who calls us to serve only Him.

It all began in 1876 in a living room with nine couples. Almost 150 years later, God continues to use Trinity to impact lives within our community and around the globe. Join us as we reflect on God’s faithfulness, celebrate God’s work, and embrace our future!
This next year will be filled with memories, testimonies, special activities and MORE! Learn more here.
