History

Trinity Presbyterian Church is a new church for Owasso & the region. It began as a prayer group in living rooms in 1997. Many who traveled to Tulsa for worship wanted a church in Owasso where people could "come as they are" without pretense, a church where the gospel was central; where they evangelized like "conservatives" but met physical and social needs in Tulsa & Rogers County like "progressives". This prayerful core originated at Christ Presbyterian Church (CPC), a Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) congregation in Tulsa, and gained some interest from reformed Baptist churches around town.

For ten years that interest coalesced into an Owasso small group out of CPC. Nothing formal was done to plant a new church. Then, in 2010—five years after Redeemer Presbyterian Church (PCA) was planted in South Tulsa—Pastor Ricky Jones lead a remnant of this core to "do something about it". The beginning of a core group began to gather people in Owasso who were committed to the gospel for the good of Owasso. Long-time Owasso residents like Brenda and Jason Sheffield, were among the leaders of this new work. Beginning in the spring of 2010 Ricky traveled from South Tulsa to preach and administer the sacraments to this small core once a month for evening worship at Freedom Church on . About six months later, Redeemer Owasso began to meet weekly at the Owasso Sixth-Grade Center. During this time the group grew but lacked the resources to become more than a small satellite of Redeemer Tulsa. In the summer of 2011 Pastor Blake Altman was called by the pastoral search committee to lead this congregation as their full-time pastor. In October 2010, the church took on its own identity as Trinity Presbyterian Church and now ministers in concert with Redeemer Tulsa and CPC to promote spiritual, social and cultural renewal throughout the region. In November, the elders moved the weekly worship service from the Sixth Grade Center to its present location at Presence Theater where we prayerfully expect to build the remainder of our core group.

Trinity is a new church, but Trinity is not new in the structure of its beliefs. Trinity wholeheartedly embraces the historic Christian faith expressed in the ecumenical creeds of the Church (e.g. the Apostle's and Nicene Creeds). It is also committed to the historic Presbyterian form of the Christian tradition by its subscription to the Westminster Confession of Faith. Trinity is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America.
