Lead Pastor’s Welcome
If you’re looking for God, it’s great that you’re here at Trinity Cheltenham. We are a community of people who are committed to following Jesus Christ with our whole lives, committed to loving and serving each other and the wider community around us.
We are a community of people whose identity is in God. We exist to serve and glorify Him. We are a church only because He has brought us together and shaped us into what we are today. As God has led and grown us, His mission for Trinity has gradually become clearer: we believe we are a church called to make committed followers of Jesus, who change communities and nations for Him.
More than a building, a name or a weekend gathering, Trinity is a community of people. We are living together the adventure for which God has created us, pursuing Christ and being changed by Him. At Trinity, community means connection and relationship, built on shared purpose and passion. It happens in weekly celebration services, in the smaller gatherings during the week, as we pray, serve and reach out to those around us, and in partnerships with other churches and organisations in this country and around the world.
God doesn’t want us to stay the same. In fact He tells us to be transformed through the renewing of our minds. Trinity is a community of seekers and learners. We’re seeking to know God better, hear His voice and respond to Him with the whole of our lives. The more we seek Him, the more God reveals of Himself - and of who He wants us to be.
God’s movement has always been revealed through the lives He has changed and then used to influence others. As God changes and refines Trinity, He calls us to invest all that we are into being catalysts for other lives and churches that need change. To this end, we are constantly seeking out new ways of effectively reaching today’s generation with the good news of Jesus Christ.
Trinity began as a church for the local community. As God has gathered people and brought us opportunities and experiences, He has shown us that He wants our doors to open wider and our reach to extend further. Whenever, wherever, whatever the cost, we desire to be a church that sees where God is moving and responds without hesitation to follow His lead.
Our hope is that you might join us on this journey.

For the remainder of this term we are looking at the book of Judges. This book of the bible contains the narrative that covers the period from the death of Joshua to the books of Samuel and the annointing of the first king of Israel.
