Trinity Baptist Church — Local services in San Antonio

I was raised in a Catholic Church. As I matured, I lost interest in Christianity and religion for many reasons—probably the same reasons other people from my generation did, too. As life went on, I tried to live a pseudo-spiritual life through a scientific lens. Some people call it “spiritual but not religious.” Looking back, I call it pre-contemplation.

Then, in the summer of 2022, I’m finishing grad school, my future is uncertain, I’m planning a wedding, working part-time, and I knew I needed something else to help keep life together. The pseudo-spiritual journey betrayed me many times because it appeared to create a life of pseudo-commitments.

That same summer, my Godmother invited me to a special-needs Bible study class for adults at Trinity Baptist Church, of which my God sister was a member. I was merely asked to be present and to help read, and I showed up for a few Sundays in a row.

My wife-to-be noticed that I had come home a more positive and brightened person each Sunday. I thought about it, and I told her it was because of the people I met at Trinity Baptist Church. I said, “I think we should try going to church there.”

And we did.

In the first few months, I heard the Bible explained compellingly and beautifully. The sermons were bold, clear, and contemporary. I applied my heart and mind to scripture in one of the many Bible study classes. Life changed significantly and irreversibly.

I was so moved by this church and the message of Christ that I decided to become rebaptized. In fact, the woman who rebaptized me also became the officiant at my wedding.

My wife and I realized we couldn’t try to go through life alone. We needed faith, and we needed a place and a people who could guide us toward a Christlike existence. And Trinity Baptist Church is the place and the people where that is happening.

Fast forward a year and a half, and my wife and I are serving in different ministries, attending small groups, teaching Bible study, and hanging out with fellow Christians. We have become wiser, more committed, intensely impassioned. We go to church business meetings and work/cleaning days (those are lots of fun). One member told us, “You are inheriting this beautiful church—all of it could be yours if you’re willing to do the work.”

All around me, I see people undergoing transformation because they have found the presence and love of God and seek to bring light out of others.

I feel bad giving Trinity Baptist Church a five-star review as if a place that is so appreciable could ever be appraised. I hope you join us to discover why this church is special and how the people here—through God’s meritless love—will lead you to discipleship.

I had been searching for something that I thought was left out of me, and here, I saw that it was left inside...

If you are a person seeking to know more about who Jesus is and why He came to love us and to save us and NOT to condemn us, please come try out Trinity (Mulberry Campus). You will be welcomed by Pastor Matt Homeyer, who is the most down-to-earth, relatable and knowledgeable pastor that I’ve ever met. Pro tip: when you come to try out Trinity, please make sure to let someone know that you are new and that you would like to meet the welcome team (tell an usher, Pastor Matt, anyone of his kindhearted staff, or anyone in the congregation). The welcome team will visit with you and then connect you with a small group Bible study group (between 8-15 people) that occurs directly after church service. Each week, I look forward to the service, as well as the small group Bible study in particular, as it offers a Socratic method bible study in an easy-going setting, where you can choose to speak or just choose to listen to a break down analysis of the scripture, with no pressure at all to publicly speak if you do not want to. Now that I am in a rhythm of attending, I yearn for and look forward to learning more about Jesus and the Bible stories each week at Trinity. The best part in my opinion is learning about Jesus in a calm setting amongst a group of welcoming believers of all races, ages and amongst a congregation spectrum of new believers all the way to...

I have been to events there at times for 30 years, and still don't see any clear identity of what the congregation sees as its calling. There are murals of animals and many beautiful artworks in the building; yet outside the building is not one native plant fjr a bird, butterfly, moth; not anything hospitable for a human to look at or be relieved from the solid asphalt parking lot. Along Mulberry, TBC has planted invasive Nandina domestica which has cyanide in the berries. So here are these beautiful murals of animals in the Children's Center, but any child who goes outside a picks a berry off the Asian shrubs there coukd be poisoned, and any dog, cat or bird who eats them will likely diean excruciating death from cyanide poisoning as oxygen stops reaching their organs and they suffocate. It difficult to get a good read on a group of people who care so much about the building and what happens in it, but completely trash what can be seen through the windows or is outside the...
