Trinity Baptist Church is a member of the Baptist General Conference. Baptists are a people who profess a living faith. Their faith is rooted in Jesus Christ who is "the same yesterday, and today, and forever." The sole authority for faith and practice is the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament.

As Baptists, we observe two ordinances: water baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper (also known as Communion). These ordinances are public expressions of our obedience to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Water baptism, while not essential to salvation, is a symbolic expression of our death and burial to the old sin-filled life and our birth into a new life in Christ. The Lord's Supper, reminiscent of Jesus' last supper with his disciples, is a reminder of Christ's broken body on the cross and the blood he shed for the remission of our sins.
