Church Description
Trinity is a small (100-120 people) Baptist church in the growing community of Franklin, TN. Our
mission is to “make disciple-making-disciples of neighbors and nations for the glory of King Jesus.”
The church is elder-led and congregationally-ruled. It has been shaped by the importance of
expositional preaching, meaningful church membership, and the doctrines of grace.
Our weekly liturgy features a blend of old hymns and modern worship songs. We thoughtfully engage
in corporate scripture reading, prayers, and the Lord’s supper each worship service. We have a small
music team (piano, guitar, cajon, bass, vocals, etc.) striving for musical excellence, but our greatest
desire is engaged congregational singing. Our website can be found at www.trinityfranklin.com.
