Welcome to Trinity Alive!

This site is dedicated to breaking down the walls and misconceptions that stand between you and a healthy relationship with God. Breaking down these walls helps you explore your faith in a way that allows you to truly know God though our Lord Jesus Christ. We are here as a reference for anyone of any faith, creed, or religion that wishes to further their faith in God and Jesus Christ.

“It is written,” Jesus said to them, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer.’” Matthew 21:13 Envision with me a church that goes beyond being a church in which prayer is one of many things we do, and instead, it is a church where prayer undergirds everything else we do, and prayer defines who we are.

Pastor Todd Wallace of Brooklyn Park Lutheran Church in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, speaking at the 2007 LCMC Convention, said, “A prayer-saturated church is a church in which ministry is fueled by prayer. It’s a church in which prayer is considered essential and indispensable, and a good portion of its members pray regularly for their church, its leaders and its ministries.”

The Parable of the Persistent Widow, in Luke 18, reminds us that God listens and responds to persistent prayer. Jesus told this parable “to show that men ought always to pray and not give up.” (v. 1) When God’s people pray, there is tremendous power unleashed in their lives and in His church. It reshapes ministry, it transforms individuals and it redirects the church. When a church becomes prayer-saturated, two huge spiritual shifts occur: 1) It enforces the headship of Jesus Christ over His church. As we pray we learn to say to Jesus that he can undo everything in the church HE has not initiated himself. . . . “Not my will, but yours be done.” 2) It will intensify the supernatural activity of the Holy Spirit in the church. Pastor Wallace says that in his experience this activity of the Spirit increases as prayer increases. There seems to be a corollary.

I hope you will share with me a vision for Trinity as a “house of prayer”, a “prayer-saturated church”. Opportunities to participate and to grow in prayer are forthcoming. Come Holy Spirit, and help us to pray.
