In 2024, Trinity Christian School celebrated 50 years of Christian education. A true testament to God’s faithfulness!

Many of our members are Apopka natives and have generational family members still attending. We view this a strength as we try to develop a place where the whole family can serve together. Each of our members and regular attenders bring a unique perspective to the body of Christ.

The leadership of Trinity Baptist Church desires to reach our community for Christ. We preach the good news of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Our purpose is the tell others about Jesus, so they too can come to know Him. In John 14:6 Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”

We desire authenticity in both our encounters and our relationships and pursue a Kingdom mindset in all we do. We are a church that does not seek to be conformed to the culture but are transformed by the renewing of our life through Jesus Christ. We are a people who readily praise the name of Jesus Christ and aim to use the gifts and talents He has given us for His glory. We take the call to follow our Savior as a challenge to rise to each and every day. We place strong importance on the Word of God and study it with every opportunity available. Serving and loving others is not just a catch phrase but is a part of our DNA.
