Trinity Evangelical Church – Making the Good News known in Skelmanthorpe

Thank you for visiting Trinity Evangelical Church webpage.

It is our aim to make known the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the preaching of his Word as laid out in the Bible.

Sadly, as is the experience across the Globe, we are unable to meet in person until the Coronavirus restrictions are lifted. However, this would be an ideal time to visit our resources section to listen to messages by our Pastor Andrew Hemingway.

We hope that you gain much encouragement through listening to the sermons via this website or podcast. Catch up on our latest series which will take an in-depth look at the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Church in Ephesus. It is a letter of encouragement to believers in Jesus Christ that instructs on how to live a life of love.

We hope you find this website helpful in learning something about the truth and meaning of life, through the Lord Jesus Christ.
