Fellowship in the Gospel

In Philippians 1:5, Paul praises the believers' koinonia — their partnership in the gospel from the first day. Like California redwoods whose shallow roots intertwine in groves, God's design is that we grow tall together, not alone. The gospel bound Lydia and the Philippian jailer into one people — servants, saints, and siblings under King Jesus. Fellowship is a gift to receive and a shared life to enter.

Scripture Passage: Acts 16:11-15; Philippians 1:1-6

In Philippians 1:5, Paul praises the believers' koinonia — their partnership in the gospel from the first day. Like California redwoods whose shallow roots intertwine in groves, God's design is that we grow tall together, not alone. From Lydia's open home to the Philippian jailer's family, the gospel bound unlikely people into one body — servants, saints, and siblings under King Jesus. We were reminded that fellowship is a gift to receive and a shared life to enter — not an event to attend but a people to belong to.

What is Trinity Fellowship - North Jefferson, AL?

In recent years, members of Redeemer Community Church from across north Jefferson County began praying and dreaming together about seeing a similar church planted in their community. This had already happened once before in Homewood when Grace Fellowship was planted in 2017 and they wondered whether it could happen where they lived. The more they prayed and discussed this with the leadership of these two churches, the more it became clear that God was leading them to partner together to plant Trinity Fellowship.

The long-term aim is for Trinity to be an independent church that continues to partner with the Redeemer family of churches in celebrating and declaring the gospel across the region.
