who we are

Our beliefs

*In essential beliefs, we have unity. "There is one Body and one Spirit ... there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism and one God and Father of us all ... " Ephesians 4:4-6
​
*In non-essential beliefs, we have liberty."Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters ... Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls...So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God ... So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God." Romans 14:1, 4, 12, 22

*In all our beliefs, we show charity.​" ... If I hold in my mind not only all human knowledge but also the very secrets of God, and if I have the faith that can move mountains- but have no love, I amount to nothing at all." I Corinthians 13:2 (ph)

Our History

Trinity began as a Sunday School in the home of Hoyt Boyd, 1914 E. 10th Street, Vancouver, Washington, in the spring of 1942. Property was purchased at 811 “ V” Street, and construction began in the fall of 1943. Wartime conditions made getting supplies difficult, but a basement was built with cement blocks and eventually a frame building was moved onto it.

Trinity grew by reaching out to the people who moved to Vancouver during World War II to work in the Kaiser Shipyards. Ever since then, we have been welcoming both long time residents and new comers to join us. So if you are new to Vancouver or you’ ve lived here all your life, Trinity may be just the church you’ ve been looking for.

Currently, Trinity is undergoing a transition and is part of a joint merger with Crosspointe West Church and we are excited to see where the Lord is taking the new church as we rename, rejuventate and seek God's will and direction for the purpose of love, unity and fulfilling God's purpose in this exciting time of growth! Come and be a part of something new and exciting in the Vancouver Heights!


 Trinity was the first Southern Baptist Church in Vancouver. We are affiliated with three groups of churches:
  1. INTERSTATE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION: A group of over 80 churches in the Portland Metropolitan area and beyond, working together in local missions.
  2. NORTHWEST BAPTIST CONVENTION: A group over 400 churches in Oregon, Washington and Idaho with the goal of evangelizing our states.
  3. SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION: A group of over 40,000 churches across America that cooperate together in a world-wide effort of missions.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF AFFILIATING WITH THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION?
  1. It allows us to identify with other Christians around the world who are known for their commitment to the Bible. Unlike other groups the SBC has no man-made creed. The Bible is our sole authority.
  2. It allows our church to participate in the largest missionary organization in the world. Through the SBC “ Cooperative Program” , we help support over 7,500 missionaries in 104 countries around the world.
  3. It allows us to be an independent church. There is no denominational control or hierarchy. We are autonomous and independent. We determine our own programs, we own our own assets, and we choose our own pastor.
