OUR STORY

Who We Are

Trinity Church is a gospel-centered community in Kansas City inviting the weary and restless into the joy of God’s kingdom.

Read our story below.

Our Beginning

In late 2020, a group of 10 people (then members of Emmaus Church) began meeting regularly in homes across the city to pray about being sent out to start a new church in Kansas City.

Over the next two years, God grew the group from 10 to 27 adults (alongside many children). What started as two small groups quickly spilled over into three. They began holding worship and teaching nights in a member’s backyard in August of 2022, which led to worship gatherings at a local bakery in November. At these gatherings, church planting pastor Drake Burrows and others charted Trinity’s vision, mission and core values. As time went on, God brought together a growing body of believers (both new and old) around Jesus, the Scriptures, and a common mission—to plant Trinity Church.

Our First Sunday Service

On April 9th of 2023, Easter Sunday, we launched our first Sunday Gathering. It was an exciting day as family, friends, and neighbors gathered to worship, hear the good news of the resurrection, and celebrate God’s work in our midst.

What’s Ahead

Ultimately, Trinity’s story is part of God’s larger work in Kansas City—bringing hope to the weary, building gospel-centered community, and inviting people to discover the love of Jesus. We’re excited and hopeful for the days ahead, and we invite you to join us as we commit to following the Way of Jesus together.
