How it all started...
Trinity Baptist Church was chartered on August 7, 1994. For the first two years, Dr. Earl C. Davis, founding pastor, and more than 350 members met for Bible Study and Worship Services in the Cordova Community Center located on the north end of Sanga Road.
In June 1996, Trinity moved into the first unit of buildings at its present location. The church grew rapidly over the next few years and the need for more space became apparent. In November of 2000, the second phase of the building plan was completed, which included a large worship space and additional rooms for Sunday School.

Expanding the vision...
On June 23, 2002, Dr. Richard S. Hipps preached his first sermon as Pastor of Trinity Baptist Church. “Pastor Richard” and his wife, Patricia, had served as missionaries in Brazil for 11 years. Immediately before coming to Trinity, Dr. Hipps served for 9 years as pastor in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Under Pastor Richard, the church continued to grow. He led the church in a third expansion and remodel of the sanctuary as well as the addition of various ministries and missions opportunities to further our mission and vision.

Where we're headed...
Dr. Matt Crawford left City Church-East Campus in Tallahassee, Florida to become Trinity’s third senior pastor. His wife, Christie, and the family moved to Memphis in early December of 2020 and we are anticipating wonderful years of ministry together.
Trinity is uniquely situated in a rapidly growing and diverse community. As our neighborhood changes, we are changing along with it. This has given us so many opportunities to serve and reach out to our vicinity with the love of Jesus Christ. Whether through serving in the local schools or community events hosted on our property, we look forward to how God will use us to impact Cordova and beyond.
