When you visit us, we recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before the start of a service. This will give you some time to chat with the Welcome team and prepare yourself for worship. If you have kids with you it will also give you some time to check them into Children’s Church at the 9.30am and 11.30am services.
The main entrance to the church is in 5th Avenue, with parking inside the church property. Additional overflow parking is at Cat Box Hyper just over the road from the church in 5th Avenue. Security guards patrol during the 9:30am Services.
You’re invited to come as you are, wearing whatever you find most comfortable.
We aim for our services to last an hour, with a few minutes leeway for communion services. We invite everyone to stay for free tea or coffee after the service. This is a great time for a brief chat with other congregation members.
Trinity offers five different services on a Sunday to cater for the needs of everyone.
Using the information above, see which time and style of worship service suits you best. If you are coming as a family with children or teens we recommend either of the 9.30am or the 11.30am services. All of our services are open and welcome to anyone. Please feel free to visit more than one service to find the one that ‘fits’ you best.
Our 9.30am Fusion service is live streamed every Sunday.
Once the service is over, it remains visible as an online worship recording on our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@trinitylinden
We livestream the entire church service, including our worship and sermon, to give the viewer a realistic full experience of what the Fusion service at Trinity is like.
However, there are other services at Trinity too, that are not live-streamed, so you are invited to visit us if you can!
