Houston is a majority-Latino city of over three million Latinos—more than any other major city in Texas—and its Latino population has nearly doubled since 2000. Despite that growth, fewer than 25% participate in an evangelical Protestant church that proclaims Jesus as Lord and Savior and that submits to the Bible as their highest authority. Furthermore, nearly 30% identify with no faith at all—close to one million people who are disconnected from any church or organized religion. While many believe they can follow Jesus apart from the church, we believe the Gospel calls us into a family — a community where grace is shared, faith is strengthened, and lives are transformed together.

​

This is why La Trinidad exists: to be a church where the disconnected can discover the grace of Jesus in a community that feels like home.

 

We’re focusing on Houston’s East End as our home base because it’s a place of influence and opportunity. It is home to the oldest Latino neighborhood in Houston, and where the first Spanish-speaking worship service began. It has long been known as a cultural arts scene, boasting one of the largest collections of outdoor murals in the city. It is surrounded by key developments like East River Project and Buffalo Bayou East; major universities like The University of Houston and Texas Southern University; and sits two miles from Downtown. It’s a cultural and strategic center, primed for gospel impact.
