Frequently Asked Questions

9:00am Worship Service
7660 N. Memorial Drive, Owasso, OK 74055.

The best way to answer this question is to come see it for yourself.  We think of ourselves as "liturgical but edgy," drawing from church history with modern verse-by-verse preaching of Scripture with application to live out the gospel in today's ever-changing world, and sharing weekly communion together.  Trinity's worship service is intended to connect Christians and non-Christians to God by engaging their imaginations to see the holiness of God and the beauty of God's love for sinners.  Our pastors design the order of events to allow us to participate together: singing, reading aloud at certain times, and moments of noise and silence. We want to experience a sense of transcendence (God is grand, beautiful, and worthy of our utmost respect, for He is holy) and immanence (God is close, personal, intimate, and draws near to His people, for He is love).

Our musical style is a blend of acoustic, classical, and jazz led by a rotating group of talented musicians who lead the congregation to sing with hope.  Believing "you are what you sing," we aim for our music to be guided by theologically-rich lyrics, singable tunes, and loud singing.  We hope the lyrics come back to you over the week to remind you of the gospel's hope.  On a given Sunday you may sing songs that are hundreds of years old, and some that are brand new.

Yes, we have Sunday School for babies through 5th grade at 10:30am after the Sunday Service. We have lots of kids for the size of our growing congregation and think your son or daughter will make friends here fast. Trinity Kids is led by Mrs. Anna Keltner, an early-childhood-education consultant to area schools, and Mishelle Thomas, a gifted mom with a passion for childhood development.  All Trinity Kids volunteers are vetted through a nation-wide program called Ministry Safe, which includes a background check, training, and a thorough interview by our staff.  

You may check your children in at our Trinity Kids registration table (just ask a greeter!).  During the worship service, nursery care is available for infants through three years old. Children four and five years old will be invited back to the children’s area before the sermon, but you can keep them with you as long as you would like. We love seeing families sitting together in worship, singing together, repenting together, and growing in faith together. There is a time during the service children 3-5 will be excused, and you can take them to their classroom. You will need to pick them up to return to the worship area before the Lord's Supper.

Yes, we offer discipleship classes at 10:30am for all ages.  These courses are taught by our pastors, elders, or trained teachers. They are open for anyone to join at any time. Adults meet at the east side of the sanctuary, and youth meet in a small conference room off the west end of the sanctuary. Trinity Kids have classrooms in the hallway opposite the coffee nook.

Come as you are.  You don’t need to clean yourself up - let Jesus do that.   We can be relaxed in attire, but many people do like to dress up to worship in Trinity Hall.  You'll see a spectrum from t-shirts and jeans, to scrubs, to business casual.

You are welcome to step out when you need. Moms and dads, we don’t mind crying babies (signs of life and joy!) but if you would like to step out, we have a Nursing Moms' Room in the back of Trinity Hall where the service is streamed. There is also a book nook in the narthex (hallway outside the sanctuary) where there are some chairs, books, and a monitor to view the service.

The first step to getting connected in a meaningful way is to fill out a Connect Card during the service.  You may also download the Church Center App (link on our home page!) to join a group, find out about upcoming events, join a Bible study, and participate in Trinity life throughout the week. You can also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

Singles are a crucial to Christ's church and a gift to the body of Christ!  We have a number of singles who live in Owasso and Tulsa, and we believe singles and married folks have a lot to learn from one another.  

"Presbyterian" simply refers to the way the church is governed. In Greek, the word "presbeuteros" means elder or shepherd (Titus 1:5; 1 Peter 5:1; 1 Timothy 5:17; Acts 15; Acts 16:4; Acts 20:17; James 5:14). Our pastors are held accountable by other pastors in the region who make up a presbytery. Many current elders and deacons didn't grow up Presbyterian but find freedom in being held accountable so the gospel remains central. Trinity is grateful for our polity and yet is especially sensitive to those who come from other denominations or none at all.

Our ordained pastors wear robe not because it’s “the correct way” to worship, but because it best illustrates the gospel in our suburban context, where sameness often reigns. Trends change, but the gospel doesn’t. The robe reminds us that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

We are lead by a group of elders (called a session or an elder board). Our current session is comprised of teaching elders and ruling elders, men chosen by the Holy Spirit and elected by the congregation to shepherd and help pastor them (1 Tim 3; Titus 1). These elders are part of a regional church court called a presbytery.  Trinity is part of Hills and Plains Presbytery. Each year, all of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) ministers and Ruling Elders come together to make important decisions at the General Assembly of the PCA.

The PCA is a group of gospel-centered local churches who are faithful to the Scriptures, true to the Reformed faith, and obedient to the Great Commission. In our context today, there are two major Presbyterian denominations in the United States: the mainline PC(USA) and the more conservative PCA. The PCA is committed to the great commission, the authority of Scripture, marriage between one man and one woman, sex within marriage only, and a complementarian view of church leadership (only men serve as elders and deacons). We don't think we have it all figured out, but we strive to keep the good news of Christ central in every aspect of life.
