About This Organization

Trinity Church is a fast-growing, Bible-teaching, Spirit-empowered church located in the heart of Scottsdale, Arizona. Founded less than ten years ago by Pastor Mark Driscoll and family, Trinity has become a home for thousands of young families, new believers, and people seeking a healthy, joyful, deeply biblical church community.

With a mission to “open our Bibles to learn, open our lives to love, so that lives and legacies are transformed,”Trinity blends robust Bible preaching with vibrant worship, strong discipleship pathways, and a deeply relational, family-first culture.

The church is entering its biggest season yet, acquiring a facility four times its current size, expanding parking dramatically, preparing for midweek programming, and anticipating explosive growth. Students, young adults, and families are at the epicenter of that growth.

Location

“The Phoenix area has everything I could ever ask for raising a young family. It has awesome parks and great neighborhoods and really unique things like the aquarium and train park while also having very low-key and quiet neighborhoods within comfortable driving distance of the church. It’s only two hours from an escape in the mountains, where there is snow at Christmas and an escape from the heat in summer. And I love living in a big city without it feeling as congested as some other major cities like Chicago. My wife and I truly love it here.”
