Looking to get connected? From Adults, College, Youth, Elementary, and Preschool groups to Men's and Women's studies, there's something for everyone. Our adult groups are multi-generational, offering a unique opportunity to grow alongside others from all stages of life as we explore a variety of meaningful topics, which you can learn about below. 

ADULT CAMPUS GROUPS

Senior Saints
Led by Larry Toothaker

room 112

Psalm 90:12 is an inspiration to our group. "Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Both sharing and praying are important features of our group time. Discussion, rather than lecture is our method of enrichment. Much of the material in the Lifeway quarterly is foundational to the Bible doctrine we know and believe.

 

In our group discussion, we work at discovering the relevance of these truths to contemporary issues as they challenge our daily lives with the purpose that we may, with honesty and understanding, engage with our Creator and one another. We study to be ready to share the gospel of Jesus Christ whenever the opportunity arises.

Hearts on a Journey
Led by Peggy Miller

LIBRARY

A class for women of any age and marital status who want to respond to God's call for a deeper understanding of His Word and its relevance to daily life. Bible study, prayer, and nurturing relationships with other women make a dynamic combination. Members develop endearing friendships that meet the need for a place to belong, grow, serve, and live the abundant life in Christ.

We begin each Sunday by sharing prayer requests and praises and then pray over them. Prayer is a vital part of our class mission. This is followed by our bible based book study and discussion time. 

In June 2024, our class began a study of the book of John by David Jeremiah. John's Gospel confronts us with the reality of Jesus' identity as the incarnate Word of God. This revelation demands a response. To believe in Jesus is not just to assent to a set of doctrines' it is to trust in Him, to rely on Him, and to commit to Him as Lord and Savior. This belief is transformative, leading to a life that is marked by the abundance and joy that Jesus promises. This current book study should continue to the end of October 2024.

The Bereans
Led by Jim McIntyre

ROOM 115

We use a study guide to direct in-depth studies of books of the Bible. We are finishing Philippians and will choose a new book to study this fall.

 

We are couples and singles aged 30's to 80’s who desire to grow in our relationship with God and live lives pleasing to Him. Three men rotate leading our class in a discussion format. Folks are encouraged to participate in the discussion, but no one is required to do so. We also meet periodically for fellowship outside of class.

 

“Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.” Acts 17:11

Roots
Led by Pete Jackson & Terry Garner

FH 1

Our purpose and desire is for our members to be a significant part of Christ’s Church and Trinity Baptist Church. To that end, we follow biblical truth to build a foundation to help each member sink their roots deep in the soil of God’s Word. We:

  • TEACH the Word of God through Scripture studies and other studies that focus on specific foundational truths. “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” (Heb. 4:12, ESV)

  • SERVICE to Trinity, each other, and our communities. “For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them:” (Rom. 12:4-6a, ESV)

  • FELLOWSHIP gathering on Sunday mornings, in our homes, at restaurants, and through prayer to grow closer to each other in Christian love. “And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.” (Acts 2:42 ESV)

We will begin with a study in 1st and 2nd Peter.

Connections
Led by Justin Mullinax & Cameron Harp

A group of men and women of all ages who meet to discuss Scripture and other books for the purpose of strengthening our connection with God. We will also meet outside of Sunday activities to build relationships with each other. We typically begin class by reading a Psalm, followed by group prayer time before diving into our study. We will start with a study of Hebrews, and our goal is to have a mix of Bible studies and Christian book studies throughout the year. The class will be discussion-based not lecture.

Persuasive Faith
Led by Rick Harvey

FH 7

Your friends, your co-workers, your neighbors, your children, your grandchildren, your parents, perhaps, at times, even you, want to know—is it truly reasonable to believe the Christian faith? Historic Christian beliefs are under attack in every area, and under attack in some new and challenging ways. But these are exciting times for the equipped Christian. In recent years remarkable developments have dramatically strengthened the evidences and arguments for the truth of Christianity.

 

BUT—are you ready to give answers to those who want to know why you believe? In a one-year study, Persuasive Faith will help you to reason carefully, and equip you to answer challenges in areas such as science, history, atheism, Islam, philosophy, trustworthiness of the Bible, Jesus of Nazareth, miracles, the Resurrection, and more.

 

This class is mostly a teaching format, with opportunities for questions and discussion. You will be urged to participate and take notes. Limited outside reading at a level you find personally comfortable will be encouraged. We would love to have you grab your notebook and pen and join us.

The Pursuit
Led by Max Barnett

Fh 5

God longs for us to know Him, and He has graciously made that possible through the death of His Son. I know of no other resource, apart from the Bible, to help us in this pursuit more than the book The Knowledge of the Holy by A. W. Tozer.

 

We will study the unchanging character of God and hopefully learn to let His great character shine through our lives. If you deeply desire to know God, you are welcome to join us.

Our focus is to study the Bible (THE Logos) and use reference materials to better understand the message that was received by and spoken to the original recipients (historically, culturally, contextually, and grammatically), in order to transform us into the followers we are called and desire to be.

 

Eddie will teach on the Holy Spirit – Person, Works, and Trinity, using a sermon series from Brother Ronnie and Who is the Holy Spirit by Malcolm B. Yarnell as key resources. Mike will teach on the birth of Christ from a cultural and historical perspective, using a John MacArthur sermon series as a key resource.

Prayer and Blessing

Prayer and Blessing

Led by Curtis Corcoran, Mark Lawrence & Rick Malone

Location: Choir Room

“Allelon” (ἀλλήλων) means one another and is used 80 times in the epistles. In those commands, we’re called to pray for and encourage one another. When we’re at a loss for words, how are we supposed to pray for or encourage someone? God’s Word is rich with answers. We will look at Paul’s prayers and at biblical blessings to build a foundation from which we can draw as we live out the one another’s. We’re also going to look at the stories and Scripture behind some favorite hymns with the goal of deepening our time of worship.


“Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.” 1Th 5:11


“Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” Js 5:16

Love and Good Deeds

Love and Good Deeds

Led by Kris Akins & Troy Ivey

Location: FH 3

Hebrews 10:24 believers are instructed to “consider how we may spur one another on to love and good deeds." We invite you to join us Sunday mornings as we strive to follow Jesus together, being reminded, encouraged, and growing in our love of God and his Church. The general plan for this year we will be discussing the previous week's message delivered by our pastors, elders, or perhaps even guest speakers, giving us a chance to reflect during the week and edify one another when we meet.


This year we can expect to follow a sermon series starting in the book of John. Sermon recordings are posted online at SermonAudio.com, and we will be providing a formatted transcript of the message to review beforehand. In addition, the first Sunday of each month we will divide into men's/women's groups to pray for one another.

Train Up a Child

Train Up a Child

Led by the Presleys & Thomases

Location: FH 1

Parenting is one of the greatest privileges God gives us but it is never easy. This group will encourage parents with children of all ages to think about parenting and the issues involved from a biblical perspective. Learning from Bible teachers who have walked this road we will study biblical principles for parenting, how God uses parenting to grow us, how to connect with our children, how to address issues like technology, sex and pornography, and developing Godly habits and practices as a family. Join us as we strive to be the parents God has called us to be.

Logos

Logos

Led by Eddie Charlson & Mike Snowdon

Location: FH 4

Eddie is finishing up a study on the Resurrection, using The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus by Gary Habermas, and then will begin a study on the book of James.


Mike is finishing up a study on forgiveness and then will begin teaching on Luke 19 & 20 on how Jesus dealt with heresy and confronted corruption. Anyone can join the class and fit right into the current studies.

Pursuit
