About
Trinity Evangelical Church
Rooted in Jesus,
Growing Together,
Serving our Community.
Our Purpose
To be a church rooted in a dynamic relationship with Jesus, growing in relationships with one another, and empowered to serve our community in His love.
What Does That Mean?
We want to be like Jesus. We understand that begins with a relationship with Him (rooted in Jesus). As people rooted in Jesus get together, those relationships naturally encourage one another to grow. We learn to love one another as Jesus loves us. But as the love of God works through us, we can’t keep that to ourselves. We have to share it! His love compels us to go beyond our church to the larger community so all people might know the good news about Jesus.

History & Beliefs
Our History
For over 200 years this church has been committed to one main thing - pointing people across our region to the life-changing power of Jesus. In 1816, two women were baptized in the Ipswich River. That was the beginning of the First Baptist Church of North Reading. It was a consistent presence in the town for decades, seeking to reflect the goodness of God and tell the good news of Jesus. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the church began to grow. In the late 90s, the church’s name was changed to Trinity Evangelical Church. This name change reflects the undying commitment to the ‘evangel,’ which means ‘Good News’ of the Gospel.
Our Beliefs
We believe in the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, and are committed to living out his teachings in the world. At Trinity Evangelical Church, we feel most closely aligned to the beliefs outlined in The Lausanne Covenant.
